Lyrics
Don’t touch the sleep ing pills, they
mess with my head,
dredg ing the great white sharks
swim ming in the bed.
And here comes a kill er whale
to sing me to sleep,
thrash ing the cov ers off,
has me by its teeth.
And oh,
my love, re mind me, what was it that I (F)said?
(C)I can’t help but pull the (Dm)Earth a round me to make my bed.
And, oh,
my (Dm)love re mind me, what was it that I did?
Did I drink too much?
Am I los ing touch?
Did I build a ship to (F)wreck.
To wreck,
to (Dm)wreck,
to wreck,
did I (Dm)build this ship to (Am)wreck?
