After the Operation Lyrics

After the operation
I was in a lotta pain
But I look fondly on it
Just passin' all the days in a haze
Layin' on the couch
And watchin' TV
After the operation
I didn't have a care
I'd spend whole afternoons
Just layin' there
While I stared
At things in the room
That made me think
After the operation
I ate a lotta junk
I'd drift off and fall asleep
And have these little dreams
Where I'm feeling
Back to my old self again

Cover art for After the Operation lyrics by Eels

Says E of this song:

"In 2003 we did 80 shows in a few months. We went around the world twice and I kept losing my voice and getting sick. When I got back home I discovered that I had developed a giant cyst in my sinus and had to have surgery. It was a brutal experience and recovering seemed like a long haze of pain. But once I was better, I realized that I kind of missed those days of laying on the couch not worrying about all the usual stuff."
