Lyrics - Στίχοι:

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, it 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

Come sail your ships around me (Come sail your ships around me)

And burn your bridges down (And burn your bridges down)

We make a little history, baby (We make a little history, baby)

Every time you come around (Every time you come around)
