Birthday Boy Lyrics

Birthday Boy lyrics

Birthday boy 
can’t explain 
Christmas Eve 
He’s born again 
 
On the line 
a broken train 
going nowhere 
Endless rain 
 
Birthday Boy 
so afraid 
plays the machines 
in the arcade 
 
Oh baby do you remember 
he’s been through all this before? 
Spent the summer 
getting nowhere 
Taking all of the blame 
for the city 
calculating 
from pain comes pity 
 
Christmas Eve 
a time of joy 
if you believe 
in Birthday Boy 
 
This time around 
it’s all a mistake 
Is he deluded 
or just a fake? 
 
Oh baby do you remember 
he’s been through all this before? 
Spent the summer 
getting nowhere 
Taking all of the blame 
for the city 
calculating 
from pain comes pity 
 
If you knew his name 
would you feel the same? 
If you knew his name? 
 
Birthday boy 
stands apart 
as the drama’s 
about to start 
 
A quick betrayal 
A speedy trial 
As before 
complete denial 
 
Oh baby do you remember 
he’s been through all this before? 
Spent the summer 
getting nowhere 
Taking all of the blame 
for the city 
calculating 
from pain comes pity 
 
If you knew his name 
would you feel the same?
