Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Don't touch the sleeping pills, they mess with my head
Dredging a Great White Shark, swimming in the bed
And here comes a Killer Whale to sing me to sleep
Thrashing the covers off, it has me by its teeth
[Chorus]
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?
[Refrain]
To wreck, to wreck, to wreck
Did I build this ship to wreck?
[Verse 2]
What's with the long face?
Oh, 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
[Chorus]
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?
[Refrain]
To wreck, to wreck, to wreck
Did I build this ship to wreck?
[Bridge]
And good God
Under starless skies we are lost
And into the breach we got tossed
And the water's coming in fast
[Chorus]
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?
[Refrain]
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?
