Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

The Ship Song

Come sail your ships around me, and burn your bridges down

We make a little history, baby, everytime you come around

Come loose your dogs upon me, and let your hair hang down

You are a little mystery to me, everytime you come around

We talk about it all night long

We define our moral grounds

But when I crawl into your arms

Well,everything it comes tumbling down.

Come sail your ships around me, and burn your bridges down

We make a little history, baby, everytime you come around

Your face has fallen sad now

For you know the time is nigh

When I must remove your wings

And you, you must try to fly.

Come sail your ships around me, and burn your bridges down

You are a little mystery to me, everytime you come around

Come loose your dogs upon me, and let your hair hang down

We make a little history, baby, everytime you come around
