Wilco Countdown to Austin Shows

We are basically 2 days from the first Wilco show in Austin on Sunday and it can not come any faster! Next song up in my countdown series is "I Am Trying To Break Your Heart" off the critically acclaimed Yankee Hotel Foxtrot (also was the title the the documentary DVD on the recording of YHF). This entire album is great one of the best ever but I love the lyrics in this song such as these few verses:

I am an American aquarium drinker
I assassin down the avenue
I'm hiding out in the big city blinking
What was I thinking when I let go of you?
and
Disposable Dixie-cup drinking
I assassin down the avenue
I'm hiding out in the big city blinking
What was I thinking when I let go of you?
Watch Wilco perform I Am Trying To Break Your Heart
