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 these brown eyes gleaming
Deep from the inside, baby hold on tight
You were so right when you said I'd been drinking
What was I thinking when we said goodnight

I want to hold you in the bible-black pre-dawn
You're quite a quiet domino, bury me now
Take off your band-aid 'cause I don't believe in touch-downs
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 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
And still I'd be lying if I said it wasn't easy
I am trying to break your heart

Disposable dixie-cup drinker
I asassin down the avenue
I'm hiding out in the big city blinking
What was I thinking when I let go of you

(I'm the man who loves you)
