Ari Selinger - On the Open Ocean Lyrics

Off on the open ocean, off on the open sea
To opposite waters her majesty sent me
While I was off on the open ocean, off on the open sea I saw the constellations above Me

Off on the open ocean, approaching the Bering Sea
I saw a Crystal Ship heading towards me
So I climbed up the mast and fired off a warning

I gotta keep on
I gotta stay headstrong
When you're alone without a crew or a harpoon on the open ocean!

Strapped to the the mast I was listening
For the music of the spheres
When the front sail was then struck up by lightning
And it threw me overboard, oh babe it was frightening

Tossed in the raging ocean Fearing creatures of the deep
I reached the surface as a tidal wave, crashed down on me

But I swam on
The boat was gone
And I knew that the end was coming on!

But I clung to the side a rock's edge
When I saw a Pirate Ship
They scooped me up with a fishing net, right then and there

They threw me in the brig and they locked it
And then they put me in prison clothes
But they set me free when I said I was a prophet

I gotta keep on
I gotta stay headstrong
Being captured in the water by pirates on the open ocean!

Ba Bada Da, Bada Da Da Daaaa

I grabbed the gun from the Captain
I tried to strike him dead
But the chamber was empty so I stole a rowboat instead

I took his first mate and a buddy
I called him Sloop John B.
Then we sailed on to the treasure that was meant for me

Let's head home
I wanna go home
Yes I was off the open ocean it was the best trip I've ever been on!
