Intro
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, every time you come around
We talk about it all night long
We define our moral grounds
But when I crawl into your arms
Everything comes tumbling down.
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
-END
