Artist/Band: Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds
Lyrics for Song: The Ship Song
Lyrics for Album: The Good Son [1990]



Come sail your ships around me

And burn your bridges down.

We make a little history baby

Every time you come around.

Come loose your dogs upon me

And let your hair hang down.

You are a little mystery to me

Every time you come around.



We talk about it all night long

We define our moral ground.

But when I crawl into your arms

Everything comes tumbling down.



Come sail your ships around me

And burn your bridges down.

We make a little history baby

Every time 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.

We make a little history baby

Every time you come around.

Come loose your dogs upon me

And let your hair hang down.

You are a little mystery to me

Every time you come around.
