Airship pirates lyrics

Our fires high and the airbags tight

Food's low but the skies are bright

Props spinning all through the night

We're low on cash but seen another target

Goggles down and the cannons up

My blood starts pumping as I drain my cup

I give the wheel a spin and I turn this girl around

We're way above ground but we're closed in on our target

Our flying Jib is filled with air

East India ships filled with despair

We even up, her broadsides bare

Our cannons flair but it's just a show of muscle

Steady on, she doesn't need to burn

She tries to flee and she tries to turn

Grappling fire, we latch her hull

She's starting to roll, but we've got her on a leash

With a crew of drunken pilots

We're the only airship pirates

We're full of hot air and we're starting to rise

We're the terror of the skies, but a danger to ourselves now

(x2)

Expendable crew starts to reel her in

Our swords are sharpened and we're ready to sin

I'm three miles up, we're about to swing aboard

My tether's made of leather so I'm not about to fall here

A swish of air and my boots hit deck

No cash, no fuel, no not a speck

Our grape shots made this bird a wreck

And a glance below deck shows a crew of nuns and orphans

With a crew of drunken pilots

We're the only airship pirates

We're full of hot air and we're starting to rise

We're the terror of the skies, but a danger to ourselves

(x4)
