Well, the rain falls down without my help, I'm afraid And my lawn gets wet though I've withheld my consent When this gray world crumbles like a cake I'll be hangin' from the hope That I'll never see that recipe again As I walk, I think about a new way to walk As I think, I'm using up the time left to think And this train keeps rolling off the track Tryin' to act like something else Tryin' to go where it's been uninvited It's not my birthday It's not today It's not my birthday so why do you lunge out at me? When the word comes down "Never more will be around" Though I wish we were there I was less than we could bear And I'm not the only dust my mother raised So I'm rattlin' the bars around this drink tank discreetly I should pour through the keyhole or evaporate completely But there'd be no percentage and there'd be no proof And the sound upon the roof is only water And the rain falls down without my help, I'm afraid And my lawn gets wet, though I've withheld my consent When this gray world crumbles like a cake I'll be hangin' from the hope That I'll never see that recipe again It's not my birthday It's not today It's not my birthday so why do you lunge out at me? When the word comes down "Never more will be around" Though I wish we were there I was less than we could bear And I'm not the only dust my mother raised I am not the only dust my mother raised
