about

My birthday wish.

lyrics

I’m rubbing cake all over my face
I’m rubbing cake all over my face
Mama says it looks a disgrace
I’m rubbing cake all over my face
I’m gonna smash these bottles and plates

I’ve got on lipstick and my swim trunks
I’m gonna take a bath in the punch
I want to take a bath with the girl
Who smiles to herself as I run amuck

[Refrain]
It’s my goddamn birthday
It’s my day to shine
It’s my goddamn birthday
Maybe I could make her mine

I’m gonna take a gun to the bank
I’m gonna have some fun the old-fashioned way
Press the barrel right up against
The bank teller’s forehead and say
“Some for me and some for the girl”
“Who smiles every time I say her name”

[Refrain]

[Bridge]
And when the day is done
Things may feel different
Maybe I’ll hold on
To that wild mane
When tomorrow comes
Lost in the distance
With the Earth it spun
Off and away
Now come and gone
Soft reminiscence
Maybe I’ll hold on
To that smile she gave
