"The ashtray says you were up all night, when you went to bed with your darkest mind. The pillow wept, and covered your eyes, when you finally slept when the sun caught fire."
It always makes me think about fighting with my wife-I'm almost sure this is what it is in reference to-that in order to understand the mind fucking that is inherent in relationships, he needs a shot in the arm. Something in his veins, bloodier than blood, just so he can deal. Goddamn Jeff, I can relate. thanks for putting it into words and setting it to a fantastic rhythm, you blessed genius.
AMAZING that this album managed to fly under the radar like it did! This is mt favorite Wilco album, too! Love just about the whole thing, from start-to-finish!
This is such a wonderful song. An ex of mine used to play it quite a bit, odd how a falling out and 8 years of seperation can bring you back around to music you never knew that you cared about.

I love reading everybodys interpretations on what this song is about. But come on, its obviously about heroin addiction. thats my opinion anyway

@terrapinxx A shot in the arm such as a vaccination , penicillin etc. A big dose of something to get you over that hurdle. Some little miracle.

despite i don't understand the whole song it makes me think about the person we used to be and we wouldn't like to remember it any more.
summerteeth is definitely Wilco's best album. all the lyrics are the deepest.

I really think Summerteeth is Wilco's best album. Not quite as polished as their latest, but very soulful.
This song in particular -- reminds me of an ex.
