Lyrics by Bruce McCulloch

lyrics

I walk around the house, drunk.
I'm wearing women's slippers.
Man, I must be a sight to behold.
But I'm not quite sure.
I lost my mirror and the pizza I ordered offers no reflection.
I walk around the house.
I think of people who have fouled me and, therfore, should die.
But, then, I think of all the interesting crafts you can make with toilet paper rolls.
Once a year, I get drunk in a darkened house for a week.
I get drunk and watch Eraserhead, as I think we all do sometimes.
It's my vacation
Once a year, I have a little black & white drunk-a-thon.
No phones, not a single luxury.
My horoscope has been suspended.
Loud industrial noises

The first three days, I just watch.
Well, I drink and watch... Eraserhead

The third and fourth day, I usually find myself pacing, circling the TV, looking at the glow from behind.
A pause for a pizza.
I won't eat it.
I just order it to prove I'm still in control.
Eraserhead

By the end of the week,
I interact with this majestic little film.
Not so much words as gesticulations.
I kiss the screen.
I rub my buttered belly on the screen,
as I think we all do sometimes

I roam around the house, the darkened, drunken house.
Sometimes, and this is gonna be about an hour before dawn,
I put a rose up my bum.
You know, the business end sticking out.
And I sort of improvise a playful dance in my surroundings.
"La-la la-la la-la la-la Eraserhead!"

If you were there, in my house,
you could follow a trail of those rose petals
and they would lead to me,
curled up, fetal position,
quivering, crying,
my teeth chattering,
industrial Eraserhead-type noises
coming from inside... me

And, as you pick me up and wrap me in a blanket,
my vacation would be complete

This behavior might disturb me
if Eraserhead weren't such a fine little film. Don't you think?
