Song lyrics
i am an american aquariam 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

lets forget about the tongue tied lightning
lets undress just like cross eyed strangers
this is not a joke, so please stop smiling
what was i thinking when i said it didnt 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 ive been drinking
what was i thinking when we said goodnight

i want to hold you in the bible black predawn
youre quite a quiet domino bury me now
take off your bandaid cuz i dont believe in touchdowns
what was i thinking when we said hello

i always thought that if i held you tightly 
you would 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 id be lying if i said it wasnt easy
i am trying to break your heart

disposable dixie cup drinker
i assassin down the avenue
ive been hiding out in the big city blinking
what was i thinking when i let go of you

Tweedy's stoic voice, then added backround sounds, twinkling-star-like sounds, out-of-place ringing sounds, a strange drum line, an ever present synthesizer of some sort, all this makes the song blissfully mysterious.

Then the moving piano line hits and everything becomes clear, the drum tidies itself up, eventually the piano line becomes even stronger... but within a couple of seconds it breaks into Tweedy crying out the last few lines and the entire song is jumbled up again.

It's too hard to describe, but it's so fun trying.
