Verse I:
Don't touch the sleeping pills, they mess with my head,
Dredging the Great White Sharks, swimming in the bed,
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?
I losing touch?
Did I build this ship to wreck?
To wreck, to wreck,
To wreck,
Did I build this ship to wreck?
Verse II:
What's with the long face? Do you want more?
Thousands of red-eyed mice, scratching at the door,
Don't let the curtain catch you, cos 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?
I losing touch?
Did I build this ship to wreck?
To wreck, to wreck,
To wreck,
Did I build this ship to wreck?

Bridge:
And good god, under star disguise 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?
I losing touch?
Did I build this ship to wreck?
To wreck, to wreck,
To wreck,
Did I build this ship to wreck?
