Trying to Get Rid of a Headache Lyrics by Jimmy Gibson

My Dog is My Biggest Fan

2018

I was there when David Bowie died
The radio was on and I’m sure he was playing his favourite song
Anything that sounds like Dylan
Waves of synthesizers rush my brain, like the ice that was formed when the rain hit the ground
I was there, lying in bed
Looking like those Cowboy Junkies as the sun turns around the wrong corner, it’s getting late
Boredom kinda feels like you’re about to go through surgery
So I sleep, and the rain fills my ears but I dream of that time in Dominican
I can’t find you anymore, it’s just first names and
Really terrible ideas to call our bands, but you take it to far and try to name our children
That’s all I can remember but I wake up alone
The sun found the place and theres a war on the driveway and in my head
So I take two Tylenol, but it doesn’t do shit
So I walk downstairs, and fall asleep as if I were stuck in a hurricane
Easier said than done, so I try to phone you
But there’s no names in my phone that remind me of you, so I don’t
It’s later now, same as always
So I walk over to the kitchen and I take two more Tylenol, but they don’t do shit
I turn on the radio again
It’s not Bowie, but I feel like he wrote it, or played piano on it or something
It doesn’t really matter
But I still like the way Iggy Pop describes being a passenger
Leaving the kitchen now
I turn back to the war on my front lawn and ask them all to stop fighting
They call me a hippie
And a lunatic, but that’s not my concern, I just want to get my head to stop hurting
So I imagine they were you
But I can’t really picture your face that well anymore, it’s pretty blurry
So they look like they showed up
Out of some kind of prank video that I don't really like, but still are inevitably popular
Where the guy acts kind of like an asshole
But doesn’t get convicted, man he’s living the dream
Speaking of dreams it’s getting pretty late again
So I take two more Tylenol and fall asleep to the sound of a slightly less painful hurricane
And when I wake up the whole thing starts again
There are two little backwards arrows you can press if you want to hear about it
So I’ll leave it there, and
Let all you literary analysts go over this, until you discover
That this is really just about trying to get rid
Of a headache, with a love song in the backdrop, if you’d like
