History Eraser

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
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 extra 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 señoritas, and we all went home as winners of a kind
You said, "I guarantee we'll have more fun
Drink 'til the moon becomes the sun
And in the taxi home I'll sing you a triffid's song!"

In my brain I re-arrange the letters on the page to spell your name
