There's a trail of smoke comin' out of a bottle 
If you look real close, you can see it right there
A little tin roof bar down a path you have to follow
From a treasure map with the edges burnt from a few too many beers

We'll pull the ropes off the boat
We'll throw 'em up on the dock
We'll let the stars be our God
No we don't need no clock

We'll set sail 
Yeah, I see you there wind in your hair and that t-shirt on 
Dead man tell no tales
It's like nowhere else 
You've ever been and we'll write your name on a dollar bill
Put it on a wall it'll still be there 
Next time we come back girl, to the bar at the end of the world 

In that old sea shell, you can hear the ocean
You can hear the waves crash whisper in your ear 
A little glow in the night, it's the last place open
And the house drink is a beautiful thing called 'make me disappear' 

We'll pull the ropes off the boat
We'll throw 'em up on the dock
We'll let the stars be our God
No we don't need no clock

We'll set sail 
Yeah, I see you there wind in your hair and that t-shirt on
Dead man tell no tales
It's like nowhere else 
You've ever been, we'll write your name on a dollar bill
Put it on a wall it'll still be there 
Next time we come back girl, to the bar at the end of the world 

There ain't no empty glasses, they're playing drift away 
That's where the magic happens, back up in that little bay 

We'll set sail 
Yeah, I see you there wind in your hair and that t-shirt on 
Dead man tell no tales
It's like nowhere else 
You've ever been, we'll write your name on a dollar bill
Put it on a wall it'll still be there 
Next time we come back girl, to the bar at the end of the world
To the bar at the end of the world
The end of the world
