Birthday Song Songtext
von Field Mouse

Melody woke me
"Sorry about the moon," the song goes
I used to love it
Words like these for sad teens
I′m more optimistic
Tonight, looked outside at the waning gibbous

Am I gonna fall asleep wondering?
Am I gonna fall asleep?


Years back in the Reagan days
I was born on a full moon
A Tuesday night well spent
Now if I stay awake
I'll hear the birthday song sung
Like it′s the first one
In about two weeks

"Am I gonna make something that outlives me?"
Yeah, for that we better hope we both get lucky

Interstate to interstate
I found a new age
Running toward some golden flame
That I can't save

Now I watch the snow turn blue at dusk
Things that we've forgotten bend and rust
Night it comes colossal through the blinds to me
Am I gonna fall asleep wondering?
Am I gonna fall asleep?
