Don't touch the sleeping pills, they mess with my head
Dredging up great white sharks
Swimming in the bed
And here comes a killer whale
To sing me to sleep
Thrashing the covers off, has me by its teeth
And oh my love remind me, what was it that I said?
I can't help but pull the earth around me
To make my bed
And oh my love remind me, what was it that I did?
Did I drink too much?
Am I losing touch?
Did I build this ship
To wreck?
To wreck, to wreck, to wreck,
Did I build this ship
To wreck?
What's with the long face? Do you want more?
Thousands of red-eyed mice scratching at the door,
Don't let the curtain catch you,
Cause you've been here before,
The chair is an island darling, you can't touch the floor
And oh my love remind me, what was it that I said?
I can't help but pull the earth around me
To make my bed
And oh my love remind me, what was it that I did?
Did I drink too much?
Am I losing touch?
Did I build this ship
To wreck?
To wreck, to wreck, to wreck,
Did I build this ship
To wreck?
Good god, under starry skies we are lost,
And into the breach we got tossed,
And the water's coming in fast!
And oh my love remind me, what was it that I said?
I can't help but pull the earth around me
To make my bed
And oh my love remind me, what was it that I did?
Did I drink too much?
Am I losing touch?
Did I build this ship
To wreck?
To wreck, to wreck, to wreck,
Did I build this ship
To wreck?
