On Brendan Kelly’s “Road to the Skeleton Coast” podcast, he confirms that the title of the song is like many other titles/ lyrics in the history of The Lawrence Arms – a reference to The Simpsons.

Bright and burning blue, stretch your arms out above me
I know that you still love me like you did
Copper brown and orange red, burn the words that I never said
I'm swallowing the pill
If you see me grinning, it's a disguise
If you see me grinning, don't trust my lies
When the ink dries, we'll have another masterpiece
When the drink dies, we'll have another restless sleep again
The smell is so thick that I can taste it
It's stained so bad that I'll never erase it
Stained so bad we'll never erase it
Try, try again and again it falls flat
Fall's rolling in and I can't find my hat
I can't find my hat
If you see me grinning, it's a disguise
If you see me grinning, don't trust my lies
When the ink dries, we'll have another masterpiece
When the drink dies, we'll have another restless sleep again
Magic dream haver, an abracadaver
Use your mind over matter till there's nothing the matter
Magic dream haver, an abracadaver
Use your mind over matter till there's nothing the matter at all
These columns are calmly calming me down
The white stripe of light from the sky to the ground
It's the biggest most obvious red flag and it's waving away in the wind
And nobody sees the clouds or the trees, only the dust and the fire within
Abracadaver was written by Brendan Kelly & Sundowner & Neil Hennessy.
Abracadaver was produced by Matt Allison.
The Lawrence Arms released Abracadaver on Tue Feb 12 2002.
