Birthday Lyrics

She lives in this house over there
Has he whole world outside it.
Grapples with her fingers
And her mouth
-she's five years old.
Threads worms on a string
Keeps spiders in her pockets,
Collects fly-wings in a jar
Srubs horse-flies and pinches them on a line.

She's got a friend he lives next door,
They listen to the weather,
He knows how many freckles she's got
She scratches his beard.
She's painting huge books (and)
Glues them together.
They saw a big raven
It glided down the sky -she touched it.

Today's a birthday
They're sucking cigars,
He's got a chain of flowers,
Sows a bird in her knickers,
They're sucking cigars,
Lie in the bathtub,
Chain of flowers ...
