Birthday Cake :: Lyrics??

Birthday Cake :: Lyrics??

The ceiling fan cranked,
Someone throwing up downstairs,
Brain was taking over my dreams,
And Pinky wasn't there to save me.
I lay awake in bed,
Shocked by the most controlling feeling.
Lo and Behold,
I rose from bed rather numbly.

Stumbled through the kitchen,
Set off the fire alarm.
It rained inside for an hour,
Watering my Chia Perm.
Somehow it survived,
And is sitting on the table.
It's a cake,
Lopsided but somehow square.
I remembered it's your birthday,
So I guess I'll put your name on there.

You left me seven years ago,
Said I could pay my own rent.
I stood in the doorway.
I watched you go right through the gate.
You left your purse on the table.
That horrid China Town thing.
I shuffled through your credit cards.
I lived on them and it felt great.


Last night I stumbled through the kitchen,
Set off the fire alarm.
It rained inside for an hour,
Watering my Chia Perm.
Somehow it survived,
And is sitting on the table.
It's a cake,
Lopsided but somehow square.
I remembered it's your birthday,
So I guess I'll put your name on there.

I knew you for about two weeks,
We met in the basement of a bar.
We never fought over anything.
Worst time of my life.
I never learned your name,
But I'll never forget your favorite brand of shoe.
We agreed on everything,
You beat me once in scrabble with 'strife'.

Last night I stumbled through the kitchen,
Set off the fire alarm.
It rained inside for an hour,
Watering my Chia Perm.
Somehow it survived,
And is sitting on the table.
It's a cake;
Lopsided but somehow square.
I remembered it's your birthday,
So I guess I'll put your name on there.

I wonder how many guys and dolls,
You hung out to dry.
Don't know where you are,
And somehow I think that's fine.
There was a murder in Wisconsin,
And I hope you're alright.
I finally found the keys you hid.
I guess it's about time.

Last night I stumbled through the kitchen,
Set off the fire alarm.
It rained inside for an hour,
Watering my Chia Perm.
Somehow it survived,
And is sitting on the table.
It's a cake,
Lopsided but somehow square.
I remembered it's your birthday,
So I guess I'll put your name on there.

Happy Birthday-
Where ever you may be.
Hope you're doing well,
At least better than me.
Happy Birthday-
I hope you get your wish,
'Cause I'm blowing out your candles.
And putting them back in that soap dish.
Happy Birthday-
I don't know what to do.
I can't label this cake just right-
Because there's just no name for you.

Last night I stumbled through the kitchen,
Set off the fire alarm.
It rained inside for an hour,
Watering my Chia Perm.
Somehow it survived,
And is sitting on the table.
It's a cake,
Lopsided but somehow square.
I remembered it's your birthday,
So I guess I'll put your shoe brand on there.
