	Story Behind the Song I was just seventeen when this happened...I'm 42 before I could write about it I've played the guitar part for years without the lyrics. Its always been called The pirate. Lyrics A pirate sailed into our sleeping town I was just seventeen He anchored up on the old sanitarium road Where the city kids would come to spread their wings The pirate said he had real big plans If we all bought a little paradise So I stood in line maybe to get a job But mostly to see the pirate eye And the pirate yelled and the pirate schemed He was just this little man who could make you make you believe. Make me beleive He could take me out there Out to see I'd sail around with Phoenix's Rising from a big blue naieve sea Well the town woke up and started laughing at him The pirate didn't have a dime And his ship went down Where the old black bells ring Paradise can't be built on a lie The pirate is my skeleton In a long ago far away dream When my little town turned radical I was just seventeen
