the slingers – happy birthday to me lyrics

i’m just trying to take a load off
that ain’t a crime
well i tried your bag
now, you gotta try mine
i’ve carried you with me every step that i’ve made
my burden is heavy, and this is how i’m repaid
i can hear the voices when i’m all alone
i hear violins, i hear the drums of rome
but you’re doing that thing you always do
when you’ve got something to say
your eyes are on the door
i’m not in your way
i’m not in your way

i hear you say it could be how it used to
we can both be chill
maybe we both get used to this
but i don’t think i will
(it’s alright)

happy birthday to me
i’m all brand new
but how happy should i be
if i don’t have you
i am young and i’m free
and that used to do
what is wrong with me
what is wrong with you
ain’t it funny how we always drag up, the same old mistakes
ain’t we just like the fishermen out on the lakes
or maybe more like palm trees shaking in the desert sun
ah you’ve had many sick+scented lovers, but i will not be one
mary, i will not be one

but it can be like it used to
listen to the word
everything that’s happened will happen again
you may rest assured
happy birthday to me
what can i do
there’s nothing i’m wanting for
if i can’t have you
happy birthday to me
i woke up alone
you opened up my eyes
you rolled back the stone
happy birthday to me
shake me from my sleep
you’re the best thing that i have
but cannot keep

i remember walking by the orchards past the walls with my mother
as the desert days and nights, like distant oil+lights
fade into one another
and i remember our ragtag following
our legions of lepers and money+lenders and wh0res
and a shining sea of saved faces
but all i wanted to see was yours
and so the crooked circle goes
and i, and i, and i am still up on that hill
and you say no, don’t do it darling but i do
but i do, or i will
