[00:16]Come sail your ships around me
[00:23]And burn your bridges down
[00:30]We make a little history, baby
[00:36]Every time you come around
[00:44]Come loose your dogs upon me
[00:51]And let your hair hang down
[00:58]You are a little mystery to me
[01:04]Every time you come around
[01:11]We talk about it all night long
[01:17]We define our moral ground
[01:24]But when I crawl into your arms
[01:29]Everything comes tumbling down
[01:37]Come sail your ships around me
[01:44]And burn your bridges down
[01:51]We make a little history, baby
[01:58]Every time you come around
[02:05]Your face has fallen sad now
[02:12]For you know the time is nigh
[02:19]When i must remove your wings
[02:23]And you, you must try to fly
[02:32]Come sail your ships around me
[02:39]And burn your bridges down
[02:46]We make a little history, baby
[02:52]Every time you come around
[02:59]Come loose your dogs upon me
[03:05]And let your hair hang down
[03:12]You are a little mystery to me
[03:19]Every time you come around
[03:25]Come sail your ships around me
[03:32]And burn your bridges down
[03:39]We make a little history, baby
[03:46]Every time you come around
