Its Not My Birthday — текст песни (they might be giants)

Well the rain falls down without my help Im afraid

And my lawn gets wet though Ive withheld my consent

When this grey world crumbles like a cake

Ill be hanging from the hope

That Ill never see that recipe again



As I walk, I think about a new way to walk

As I think, Im using up the time left to think

And this train keep rolling off the track

Trying to act like something else

Trying to go where its been uninvited



Its not my birthday

Its not today

Its not my birthday, so why do you lunge out at me?

When the word comes down, "never more will be around"

Though Ill wish you were there, I was less than we could bear

And Im not the only dust my mother raised



So, Im rattling the bars around this drink tank

Discreetly I should pour through the keyhole or evaporate completely

But thered be no percentage, and thered be no proof

And the sound upon the roof is only water



And the rain falls down without my help Im afraid

And my lawn gets wet though Ive withheld my consent

When this grey world crumbles like a cake

Ill be hanging from the hope

That Ill never see that recipe again



Its not my birthday

Its not today

Its not my birthday, so why do you lunge out at me?

When the word comes down, "never more will be around"

Though Ill wish you were there, I was less than we could bear

And Im not the only dust my mother raised

I am not the only dust my mother raised
