Well the rain falls down without my help I'm afraid   And my lawn gets wet though I've withheld my consent   When this grey world crumbles like a cake   I'll be hanging 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 keep rolling off the track   Trying to act like something else   Trying 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'll wish you were there, I was less than we could bear   And I'm not the only dust my mother raised      So, I'm rattling 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 grey world crumbles like a cake   I'll be hanging 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'll wish you 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
