"Ship To Wreck" lyrics - FLORENCE + THE MACHINE
Don't touch the sleeping pills, they mess with my head
Dredging up great white sharks swimming in the bed
And here comes a killer whale to sing me to sleep
Thrashing the covers off, has me by its teeth
And ah, 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 ah, 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?
To wreck, to wreck, to wreck
Did I build this ship to wreck?
What's with the long face? Uh, 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
And ah, 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 ah, 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?
To wreck, to wreck, to wreck
Did I build this ship to wreck?
Good God, under starless skies we are lost
And into the breach we got tossed
And the world is coming in fast
And ah, 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 ah, 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?
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?
