History Eraser - Courtney Barnett

I got drunk and fell asleep atop the sheets

But luckily I left the heater on

And in my dreams I wrote the best song

That I've ever written

Can't remember how it goes

I stayed drunk and fell awake

And I was cycling on a plane and far away

I heard you say you liked me

We drifted to a party cool

The people went to arty school

They made their paints by mixing

Acid wash and lemonade

In my brain I re-arrange

The letters on the page to spell your name

I found an ezra pound and made a bet

That if I found a cigarette I'd drop

It all and marry you

Just then a song comes on:

"you can't always get what you want"

The rolling stones

Oh woe is we the irony

The stones became the moss

And once all inhibitions lost

The hipsters made a mission to the farm

We drove by tractor there

The yellow straw replaced our hair

We laced the dairy river

With the cream of sweet vermouth

In my brain I re-arrange

The letters on the page to spell your name

You said "we only live once"

So we touched a little tongue

And instantly I wanted to

I lost my train of thought

And jumped aboard the Epping

As the doors were slowly closing on the world

I touched on and off

And rubbed my arm up against yours

And still the inspector inspected me

The lady in the roof was living proof

That nothing really ever

Is exactly as it seems

In my brain I re-arrange

The letters on the page to spell your name

We caught the river boat downstream

And ended up beside a team of angry footballers

I fed the ducks some krill

Then we were sucked against our

Will into the welcome doors of the casino

We drank green margaritas

Danced with sweet senoritas

And we all went home as winners of a kind

You 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
