Lyrics:

v1
Dark night on the open sea
And the land has disappeared
Nothing in sight but water
And I'm beginning to feel weird
v2
Redrum on the captain's mind
Round the world and back again
The only things I see are clouds and mist
Only I understand
v3
It's like I'm in a desert
And I can see a mirage
It's of a distant shoreline
And on the shore is a cotton cottage

Hey yeah, on and on and on

(chorus:)
I see a cotton cottage
And a little log cabin
Alone and distant
I'm there within
I sleep in a cotton cottage
Redrum on the walls
I climb to the top
And have myself a fall

Hey yeah, on and on and on and on

v4
Nothing more than pure madness
Don't expect to ever get home
I don't recognize my own face
So I think I'll start to roam
v5
Everyone's either dead, or
They threw themselves overboard
They didn't find their cotton cottages
And they haven't found the Lord

Redrum, hey yeah, on and on and on,

I see a cotton cottage
And a little log cabin
Alone and distant
I'm there within
I sleep in a cotton cottage
Redrum on the walls
I climb to the top
And have myself a fall

Redrum, redrum, on and on and on and on

I see a cotton cottage
And a little log cabin
Alone and distant
I'm there within
I sleep in a cotton cottage
Redrum on the walls
I climb to the top
And have myself a fall

Cotton cottage in the sky
Li'l log cabin n' I can't fly
Cotton cottage piece of the sky
Li'l log cabin n' my mouth's gone dry

Cotton Cottage Skies
Cotton Cottage Skies
Cotton Cottage Skies
Cotton Cottage Skies Nevermore
