Happy Birthday
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.
I told everybody I was late
But I was hiding in the back
Hiding in the back, my hands, they shake
Happy Birthday, I'm your birthday cake
And I'm lit and I'm late
[Incomprehensible]
[Incomprehensible]
I was wrong, you were right
I was wrong, you were right
Happy Birthday
I told everybody I was clean
But I had clouds in my bath
Listenin' to music, reading poetry
Nodding off and nearly drownin' myself
But it's clear, you're clearly upset
Wanna smoke, my smokes are all wet
I've got two and both of them lit
Happy Birthday
Happy Birthday
Happy Birthday
Happy Birthday
Happy Birthday
I'm your birthday cake and I'm lit
