From the track-by-track rundown of Come Pick Me Up on the Superchunk website from 1999, written by drummer Jon Wurster:
Jim likes to introduce this song “in concert” by saying that it was written by me. This is not actually true. My original demo of the song (which had been lying around since ‘92)...
Fair skinned to pale, translucent
Soon I'll see right through
You warned me once
But it's frightening to see the shape of you
Now you're knee deep in the sucking mud
Won't you toss me your glove again
You warmed this hand before
Last summer dancing
The mirror gets cursed
For what's reflected
So you disconnect it
Will you disconnect it
Now you're wrapped up like an onion in layers
Suckin on Bayers and shaking
The point is I can feel you
A funny elbow in my side
But in real life my calls go unfollowed
Medicine swallowed in secret
You can't beat it
When reports of your demise are correct
The mirror gets cursed
For what's reflected
So you disconnect it
You disconnect it
Now I'm forcing the issue
Wrappin loose ends in wet tissues
When you're ready
You'll reappear, won't you
The mirror gets cursed
For what's reflected
So you disconnect it
You disconnect it
And it only gets worse
When you know you wrecked it
So you disconnect it
Superchunk released Cursed Mirror on Tue Aug 10 1999.
