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?
