Lyrics

[Verse 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?
[Verse 2]
Let's forget about the tongue-tied lightening
Let's undress just like cross-eyed strangers
This is not a joke, so please stop smiling
What was I think when I said it didn't hurt?
[Verse 3]
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 I've been drinking
What was I thinking when we said goodnight?
[Verse 4]
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 we said hello?
[Verse 5]
I always thought that if I held you tightly
You'd always love me like you did back then
Well, then I fell asleep, the city kept blinking
What was I thinking when I let you back in ?
[Verse 6]
I am trying to break your heart
I am trying to break your heart
Still, I'd be lying if I said it wasn't easy
I am trying to break your heart
[Verse 7]
Disposable Dixie-cup drinking
I assassin down the avenue
I'm hiding out in the big city, blinking
What was I thinking when I let go of you?
[Verse 8]
Loves you
I'm the man who loves you
