"Ship to Wreck" Lyrics

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 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, darlin'
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 a ship to wreck?

To wreck, to wreck, to wreck
Did I build this ship to wreck?

Good God, under starless 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 a ship to wreck?

To wreck, to wreck, to wreck
Did I build this ship to wreck?

To wreck, to wreck, to wreck
Did I build this ship to wreck?
