History Eraser (Live at the Electric Lady Studios)

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 rearrange 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 stories 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 rearrange 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
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 rearrange 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 that I guarantee we'll have more fun
Drink 'til the moon becomes the sun
And in the taxi home I'll sing you a Triffids song

In my brain, I rearrange the letters on the page
To spell your name

Thank you
We got one more song
This is a, this has been pretty cool
Oh, I was gonna take a photo, hold that thought
This is bad radio

So, how was everyone today?
Let's get to hit the flash button
Are you ready? Okay
Thank you, that's good
That's a good photo
I don't think I'm ever gonna forget the day that we played here, so...
It's okay
This song's called "Avant Gardner"
