Side Now (Pirate Moon, Now I'm Happy, How Will It Feel)

Houses are ships, says Pirate Polly
You latch up your portholes before you go to sleep
But what is a crime and who is a criminal?
Who takes your life? You give it so willingly
I will not eat your swollen animals
I am a thief but I am not a murderer

Pirate Polly never killed an Indian
Polly never spilt the blood of an Indian
She won't take your money with wind in her pocket
She enters your body before you can lock it
She touches your pillow and enters your room
Like a pirate moon

Standing on the balcony, the moon is beside her
She looks in your window and you do not see her
The way that you look at your face in the mirror
Is all that she needs to uncover your treasure
And on her head shines the pirate moon
Pirate moon, the pirate moon

Back to the docks where the others are waiting
To sail from the harbor on a ship called the Wildflower, Wildflower
Back on the Wildflower rules can be broken
Mutiny is possible, doors are left open
Each pirate owns their own skull and bones
Living their days unrehearsed like the haze
Around the moon, the pirate moon
Pirate moon, the pirate moon

Houses are ships, says Pirate Polly
You're not a fish 'though you swim on the concrete
Just like Jesus, she's a thief in the night
She steals your illusions, dissolves in the light
Of the pirate moon, the pirate moon
Pirate moon, the pirate moon

Like a pirate, like a pirate moon
Like a pirate, like a pirate moon
Like a pirate, like a pirate moon
Like a pirate, like a pirate moon

Well, now I'm happy
And now I'm not
Well, now I'm happy
And now I'm not

How will it feel if it is real?
What difference will it make if it isn't?

The ground is like a sieve
On gravel hillside where I lose my footing
I think I might stand up
My thoughts are confused
I might stand up
But my thoughts are confused
My thoughts are confused

So many eyes look at me
So many hands touch me
So many eyes look at me
So many hands touch me

How will it feel if it is real?
What difference will it make if it isn't?

The air is like a hole
When I wake up, the noise is always on
Sweet dreams fade so fast
My thoughts are confused
Dreams fade so fast
My thoughts are confused
My thoughts are confused

So many eyes look at me
So many hands touch me
So many eyes look at me
So many hands touch me
