Birthdays

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Lovers are foreign creatures /

I heard of this thing they do called kiss /

It cures the ills of the modern age and /

Gives you a place in the universe /

Come on now, come on' /

Calm down /

Come on now, come on' /

Calm down /

Can't help but stare /

In cold confusion /

Its not familiar but its happened before /

Past life, childhood residence /

A flash of actors, faint remembrance. /

Come on now, come on' /

Calm down /

Come on now, come on' /

Calm down /

I don't remember birthdays /

Or what day it is of the week /

I don't remember waiting in line /

Wasting my time, or having a good time /

I don't remember much, unless /

I have a witness to my crimes /

I don't remember birthdays /

Except yours and mine, yours and mine /

Lovers are foreign creatures /

Yeah, I used to be one myself /

It's the cure that kills, (un) til' you kill the cure /

You give it your all but it doesn't endure /

Come on now, come on' /

Calm down /

Come on now, come on' /

Calm down /

I miss kissing you,

I miss kissing you,

I miss kissing. /

I miss kissing you, I miss kissing you, I miss kissing. /

And I don` t remember birthdays /

Or what day it is of the week /

I don` t remember waiting in line /

Wasting my time, or having a good time /

I don` t remember much, unless /

I have a witness to my crimes /

I don` t remember birthdays /

Except yours and mine, yours and mine
