Wilco #1

I am an American aquarium drinker

I assassin down the avenue

I'm hiding out in the big city blinking

What was I thinking when I let go of you

 

Let's forget about the tongue-tied lightning

Let's undress just like cross-eyed strangers

This is not a joke so please stop smiling

What was I thinking when I said it didn't hurt

 

I want to glide through those brown eyes dreaming

Take you from the inside, baby hold on tight

You were so right when you said I've been drinking

What was I thinking when we said good night

 

I want to hold you in the Bible-black predawn

You're quite a quiet, domino, bury me now

Take off your band-aid 'cause I don't believe in touchdowns

What was I thinking when we said hello

 

I always thought that if I held you tightly

You'd always love me like you did back then

Then I fell asleep in the city kept blinking

What was I thinking when I let you back in

 

I am trying to break your heart

I am trying to break your heart

But still I'd be lying if I said it wasn't easy

I am trying to break your heart

 

Disposable Dixie cup drinker

I assassin down the avenue

I've been hiding out in the big city blinking

What was I thinking when I let go of you

Done
