Don’t touch the sleep ing pills, they

swim ming in the bed.

Here comes a kil ler whale you ’cause to sing me to sleep.

The Thrash ing the cov ers off, ling has me by its teeth.

And oh,

my (Dm)love re mind me, what was it that I (F)said?

(C)I can’t help but pull (Dm)the earth a round me to make my (F)bed.

And oh,

my (Dm)love re mind me, what was it that I (F)did?

Did I drink too much, am I (Dm)los ing touch?

Did I build this ship to (F)wreck?

(Em)Did I (Dm)build this ship (C)to (Am)wreck?

What’s with the long face, pills, they

do you want more?

Thous ands of red eyed mice

Don’t let the cur tain catch you ’cause you’ve been here be fore.

The chair is an is land, dar ling you can’t touch the floor.
