[Verse 1]
From dismal daily rhythm came a dizzy ritual
Stood waiting for your Ma to collect you
Wondering if she ever asked you
Who I was to you?
And wishing that I knew
[Verse 2]
Then smudging your birthday card
And thinking I didn't ought to have
Gotten you one in the first place
But hoping for many
Happy returns to you
Hoping for many happy returns to you
[Interlude]
[Verse 4 — Instrumental]
[Verse 5]
Delivering a brick to the window
Of a house that I resented
’Cause I thought you might have liked it
But probably without me in it
Probably without me in it
[Interlude]
[Verse 6]
And knowing I wasn't even close
To keeping you up on a night
But hoping that someday I might
And knowing I wasn't even close
To taking your fangs or even getting bitten
