潮溜まりで野垂れ死ぬんだ 勇ましい背伸びの果てのメンソール ワゴンで二足半額のコンバース トワイライト匂い出すメロディー 今サイコロ振るように日々を生きて ニタニタ笑う意味はあるか 誰も興味がない そのGコードを 君はひどく愛していたんだ 煩わしい心すら いつかは全て灰になるのなら その花びらを瓶に詰め込んで火を放て 今ここで 誰より強く願えば そのまま遠く雷鳴に飛び込んで 歌えるさ カスみたいな だけど確かな バースデイ バースデイソング しみったれたツラが似合うダークホース 不貞腐れて開けた壁の穴 あの時言えなかった三文字 ブラスバンド鳴らし出すメロディー 真面目でもないのに賢しい顔で ニヒリスト気取ってグルーミー 誰も聴いちゃいないそのDコードを それでもただ信じていたんだ よーいどんで鳴る銃の音を いつの間にか聞き逃していた 地獄の奥底にタッチして走り出せ 今すぐに 誰より独りでいるなら 誰より誰かに届く歌を 歌えるさ 間の抜けた だけど確かな バースデイ バースデイソング 持て余して放り出した叫び声は 取るに足らない言葉ばかりが並ぶ蚤の市にまた並んで行く 茶化されて汚されて恥辱の果て辿り着いた場所はどこだ 何度だって歌ってしまうよ どこにも行けないんだと だからこそあなたに会いたいんだと 今 今 今 煩わしい心すら いつかは全て灰になるのなら その花びらを瓶に詰め込んで火を放て 今ここで 誰より強く願えば そのまま遠く雷鳴に飛び込んで 歌えるさ カスみたいな だけど確かな バースデイ バースデイソング

A friend of mine grows his very own brambles They twist all around him 'til he can't move Beautiful, quivering, chivalrous shambles What is my friend trying to prove? The booze turns a tall, gentle boy to a terrible totem And the kids gather 'round trying to see what's inside I think when he's drinking he's drowning some riot What is my friend trying to hide? 'Cause it's breaking my heart, it's breaking my heart And it's breaking my heart to pour like the rain Brother of mine don't run with those fuckers When will my friend start singing again? When will my friend... Start singing again? Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
