I am an American aquarium drinker
I $$#assin 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 it from the inside, baby hold on tight

You were so right when you said that I've been drinking
What was I thinking when I 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 because I don't believe in touchdowns

What was I thinking when I said hello?

I'd always thought that if I held you tightly

You'd always love me like you did back then
Then I fell asleep and 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 drinking
I $$#assin down the avenue
I'm hiding out in the big city blinking

What was I thinking when I let go of you?

loves you

I'm the man who loves you
