My Birthday

from Dirty Calendar by Noel Shiri

/

lyrics

From the roots in your tea to the foot of your bed
The gloves you’re always wearing
Leave behind a scent of petty theft
And it follows to say
I was a cut and dry head case
Whose words could be each folded into thirds
So very neatly

And you are

Always up
You’re never sleeping
You’re a hard act to follow, baby, but
It’s my birthday
And I'm getting old

The man in the machine cracked the codes to your head
Your eyes were drooping and you’ve
Finally given me
A place to stand
And it follows to say
Light shines brighter when it’s on your face
And even Simon Peter needed proof
Sorry for faking

But you are

Always up
You’re never sleeping
You’re a hard act to follow, baby, but
It’s my birthday
And I'm getting

Getting up
My window’s creaking
If you beg you can borrow baby but
It’s my birthday
And I’m getting old

I am getting old

Outside the gray is falling down
Dark liquid split up ounce by ounce
From where i stand the earth grows
Smaller and smaller and smaller
Smiling just like we taught her
In her shiny new collar
Doing tricks that I thought were

Always up
You're never sleeping
You’re a hard act to follow, baby, but
It’s my birthday
And I’m getting

Getting up
My window’s creaking
If you beg you can borrow, baby, but
It’s my birthday
And I’m getting

Getting sick
And tired of thinking
It’d be easy without you, baby, but
It’s my birthday
And I’m getting old

Pity me, sweetheart
‘Cause this city is cold
Do me a favor
I just want to go
Home
