Birthday Girl

Lyrics

She was tired, it was dawn When she heard the nurse say "Here's a baby boy" Without fear, zero years Come to seek damnation And a veil of tears And my claim to fame Is that then I was That baby boy Birthday girl – Rosy and special Will this night last forever? When I wed, I would dream In a champagne haze of my first affair Like a private joke On the one I loved Between myself and me Birthday girl – Rosy and special Will this night come to an end? Feed the birds poisoned bread In the square beneath my place of birth People die, so will I Cut and dried and empty Quite alone When they bury me When the people know of the baby boy Birthday girl – Now I am begging But I still think of that baby Birthday girl – Smiling in silence Will this night please come to an end…
