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 those brown eyes dreaming
Take you 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 good night

I want to hold you in the Bible-black predawn
You're quite a quiet, domino, bury me now
Take off your band-aid 'cause I don't believe in touchdowns
What was I thinking when we said hello

I always thought that if I held you tightly
You'd 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 I'd be lying if I said it wasn't easy
I am trying to break your heart

Disposable Dixie cup drinker
I assassin down the avenue
I've been hiding out in the big city blinking
What was I thinking when I let go of you

  • he looks like american kelly jones:)

  • Does anyone know how long they played as a four piece for? It's weird seeing a clip without either Jay Bennett or Nels Cline filling in on lead guitar.

    Great performance, especially for how complex this song is, but it does feel like it's missing something compared to later versions.

  • Before wilco was popular lol like 40 people in audience

  • Holy shit his vocals are flawless.

  • The first 45 seconds of this clip are what you hear right before you die.

  • Fantastic band.

    That's all I've to say.

  • @elblueblazer

    Yeah. He was looking a little rough in this.

  • Like it. Song #3 I've heard. No bad ones thus far...

  • LOVE LOVE LOVE WILCO WILCO WILCO WILL LOVE YOU!! my favourite band forever...:)

  • Im sure someone else has also commented on Jeffs looks, The guy looks like hes about to OD on pill, Really glad hes not like this anymore.
