They Might Be Giants - It's Not My Birthday lyrics
[They Might Be Giants - It's Not My Birthday lyrics]
Well the rain falls down without
My help I'm afraid
And my lawn gets wet though
I've withheld my consent
When this grey world crumbles like a cake
I'll be hanging from the hope
That I'll never see that recipe again
As I walk, I think about a new way to walk
As I think
I'm using up the time left to think
And this train keeps rolling off the track
Tryna act like something else
Tryna go where it's been uninvited
It's not my birthday it's not today
It's not my birthday
So why do you lunge out at me?
When the word comes down
"Never more will be around"
Thought I'll wish we were there
I was less than we could bear
And I'm not the only dust my mother raised
So, I'm rattling the bars
Around this drink tank
Discreetly I should pour through the
Keyhole or evaporate completely
But there'd be no percentage
And there'd be no proof
And the sound upon the roof is only water
And the rain falls down without
My help I'm afraid
And my lawn gets wet though
I've withheld my consent
When this grey world crumbles like a cake
I'll be hanging from the hope
That I'll never see that recipe again
It's not my birthday it's not today
It's not my birthday
So why do you lunge out at me?
When the word comes down
"Never more will be around"
Thought I'll wish we were there
I was less than we could bear
And I'm not the only dust my mother raised
I am not the only dust my mother raised
My help I'm afraid
And my lawn gets wet though
I've withheld my consent
When this grey world crumbles like a cake
I'll be hanging from the hope
That I'll never see that recipe again
As I walk, I think about a new way to walk
As I think
I'm using up the time left to think
And this train keeps rolling off the track
Tryna act like something else
Tryna go where it's been uninvited
It's not my birthday it's not today
It's not my birthday
So why do you lunge out at me?
When the word comes down
"Never more will be around"
Thought I'll wish we were there
I was less than we could bear
And I'm not the only dust my mother raised
So, I'm rattling the bars
Around this drink tank
Discreetly I should pour through the
Keyhole or evaporate completely
But there'd be no percentage
And there'd be no proof
And the sound upon the roof is only water
And the rain falls down without
My help I'm afraid
And my lawn gets wet though
I've withheld my consent
When this grey world crumbles like a cake
I'll be hanging from the hope
That I'll never see that recipe again
It's not my birthday it's not today
It's not my birthday
So why do you lunge out at me?
When the word comes down
"Never more will be around"
Thought I'll wish we were there
I was less than we could bear
And I'm not the only dust my mother raised
I am not the only dust my mother raised
