Florence and the Machine - Ship To Wreck lyrics

rate me

(Verse)

Don't touch the sleepin’ pills, they mess with my head

Dredgin’ of big white sharks, swimmin’ in the bed

And here comes a killer whale, send me to sleep

Thrashin’ the covers off, has me by this teeth

(Pre-Hook)

And my love remind me, what was it that I said?

I can't help but pull the earth around you to make my bed

And my love remind me, what was it that I did?

Did I drink too much? Am I losin’ touch? Did I build a ship to wreck?

(Hook)

To wreck x 3

Did I build this ship to wreck?

(Verse)

What's with the long face, ooh? Do you want more?

Thousands of red-eyed mice, scratchin’ at the door and

Don't let the curtain catch you cuz you've been here before

The chair is an island, darling, you can't touch the floor

(Pre-Hook) + (Hook)

(Bridge)

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Good God, the star, the skie

We’re lost, into the breach we got tossed

And the world is comin’ in fast

(Pre-Hook) + (Hook x 2)
