21st 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.
So, wait
Drink more wine
Do all the things
I'm feeling fine
Can't stay awake so you say goodnight
So long career
So long dear life
Never gonna live to see your 21st birthday
Never gonna have to see your pretty face again
And so it's back to the game
Its always more of the same
You never see it will be better my way
I can't take this no more
She's always facing the floor
There's nothing worse than an unhappy soulmate
Never gonna live to see your 21st birthday
Never gonna have to see your pretty face again
Twenty years old and I feel alone
With lies, trust burned away
No fun in living
Just die, yeah
So go
I'll feel better
You came to pay
I'll see that door
Closing another day
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
So, wait
Drink more wine
Do all the things
I'm feeling fine
Can't stay awake so you say goodnight
So long career
So long dear life
Never gonna live to see your 21st birthday
Never gonna have to see your pretty face again
Never gonna have to see your pretty face again...
