Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
The Ship Song (Live at Alexandra Palace, 2020)
[Intro]
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
[Verse 1]
We talk about it all night long
We define our moral ground
But when I crawl into your arms
Everything, it comes tumbling down
[Chorus]
Come sail your ships around me
And burn your bridges down
We make a little history, baby
Every time you come around
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
