Song lyrics

[Verse 1:]
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 send me to sleep
Thrashing the covers off, has me by its teeth

[Pre-Chorus:]
And ah, 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 ah, my love, remind me, what was it that I did?
Did I drink too much? Am I losing touch?
Did I build a ship to wreck?

[Chorus:]
To wreck, to wreck, to wreck
Did I build this ship to wreck?

[Verse 2:]
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

[Pre-Chorus:]
And ah, 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 ah, my love, remind me, what was it that I did?
Did I drink too much? Am I losing touch?
Did I build a ship to wreck?

[Chorus:]
To wreck, to wreck, to wreck
Did I build this ship to wreck?

[Bridge:]
Good God, under star disguise we are lost
And into the breach we got tossed
And the water's coming in fast

[Pre-Chorus:]
And ah, 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 ah, my love, remind me, what was it that I did?
Did I drink too much? Am I losing touch?
Did I build a ship to wreck?

[Chorus:]
To wreck, to wreck, to wreck
Did I build this ship to wreck?





Ship to Wreck

Don't touch the sleeping pills, they mess with my head
Dredging of 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, ah, 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, ah, my love remind me, what was it that I did?
Did I drink too much? Am I losing touch?
Did I build a 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
And 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

Good God, under starless skies
We are lost, and into the breach, we got tossed
And the water's coming in fast
