Dying on your birthday Its the hardest one to make With needles shoved Inside your birthday cake Walking like the dead For your brittle bones will break Courting lonely thoughts of suicide Running out of time As you watch it melt away Your whole life has been lived on this stage People love to watch Other creatures die So they gather all around you and they stare Singing all your sorrows As you utter your last prayers For the black clouds are hanging over head Its three o'clock on Tuesday And youre heading to your wake But all your friends have been waiting for days Asking you the questions That you havent strength to take You reveal your weakness by mistake Running down the aisle As you try to make your way Your whole life has been put on display People love to watch Other creatures die So they gather all around you and they stare Singing all your sorrows As you utter your last prayers For the black clouds are hanging over head For the black clouds are hanging over head For the black clouds are hanging over head
