History Eraser

I got drunk and fell asleep

Atop the sheets but luckily

I left the heater onAnd in my dreams I wrote the best

Song that I've ever written

Can't remember how it goesI stayed drunk and fell awake

I was cycling on a plane

And far away I heard you say you liked meWe drifted to a party, cool

The people went to arty school

They made their paints by mixing acid wash and lemonade[Chorus]

In my brain

I re-arrange

The letters on the page

To spell your nameI found an Ezra Pound

And made a bet that if I found

A cigarette, I'd drop it all and marry youJust then a song comes on:

"You can't always get what you want"

The Rolling Stones, oh woe is we, the ironyThe stones became the moss

And once all inhibition's lost

The hipsters made a mission to the farmWe drove by tractor there

The yellow straw replaced our hair

We laced the dairy river with the cream of sweet vermouthIn my brain

I re-arrange

The letters on the page

To spell your nameYou said, "We only live once"

So we touched a little tongue

And instantly I wanted toI lost my train of thought

And jumped aboard the Epping as

The doors were slowly closing on the worldI touched on and off

And rubbed my arm up against yours

And still the inspector inspected meThe lady in the roof

Was living proof that nothing

Really ever is exactly as it seemsIn my brain

I re-arrange

The letters on the page

To spell your nameWe caught the river boat downstream

And ended up beside a team

Of angry footballersI fed the ducks some krill

Then we were sucked against our will

Into the welcome doors of the casinoWe drank green margaritas

Danced with sweet senoritas

And we all went home as winners of a kindYou said "I guarantee we'll have more fun

Drink till the moon becomes the sun

And in the taxi home I'll sing you a Triffids song"In my brain

I re-arrange

The letters on the page

To spell your name
