The Mars Volta - Birthday lyrics

She lives in this house over there
Has her world outside it
Scrapples in the Earth with her
Fingers and her mouth she's five years old

Thread worms on a string
Keeps spiders in her pocket
Collects fly wings in a jar
Scrubs horse flies
And pinches them on a line ohhh
She has one friend, he lives next door
They're listenening to the weather
He knows how many freckles she's got
She scratches his beard

She's painting huge books
And glues them together they saw a big raven
It glided down the sky she touched it ohh

Today is a birthday they're smoking cigars
He's got a chain of flowers


And sows a bird in her knickers ohhh

They're smoking cigars
They lie in the bathtub a chain of flowers
