Birthday Boy
Birthday boyCan't explainChristmas EveHe's born againOn the lineA broken train going nowhereEndless rainBirthday boySo afraidPlays the machines in the arcade
[Chorus:]Oh baby do you rememberHe's been through all this before?Spent the summer getting nowhereTaking all of the blame for the cityCalculating from painComes pity
Christmas EveA time of joyIf you believe in Birthday boyThis time aroundIt's all a mistakeIs he deludedOr just a fake?
[Chorus]
If you knew his nameWould you feel the same?If you knew his name?Birthday boyStands apartAs the drama's about to start
A quick betrayalA speedy trialAs beforeComplete denial
[Chorus]
