Happy Birthday Everyone

You're my best friend, and I love you
It's your birthday, celebration
Happy birthday everyone around
Happy birthday everyone I know
Happy birthday everyone, happy birthday everyone
Happy birthday everyone in sight
On a work day, at the office
Now I'm dancing, on the table screaming out loud
Out loud at the people outside, singing
Happy birthday everyone out there
Happy birthday everyone right here
Happy birthday everyone, happy birthday everyone
Happy birthday everyone in sight
I get so sad on my birthday some years
Blow out the candles, wish for nothing at all
But maybe this year we can have a good time
I'm still learning how to be happy and
You're still learning how to be free
Every day is someone's birthday, let's just have a party
Happy birthday everyone around
Happy birthday everyone I know
Happy birthday everyone, happy birthday everyone
Happy birthday everyone in sight
You're my best friend.

Woke up today, felt a little better but not great
That's the way it goes these days, for no apparent reason
No apparent reason
Stand back I say, I'm ready to blow
I don't know when, but I can feel it coming it like
Way back when, when this was my normal
I'll take it to the pen, writing dear old friend
I'm crawling back to you again
My body's changed, maybe it's just me
And no my age, how could I be surprised
If it's that way, such a perfect circle, for no apparent reason
Pack up I say, I'm ready to go
I don't know when, but I can feel it coming like
Way back when, when this was my normal
I'll take it to the pen, writing dear old friend
I'm crawling back to you again
To you again
Stand back I say, I'm ready to go
I don't know when, but I can feel it coming like
Way back when, when this was my normal
I'll take it to the pen, writing dear old friend
I'm crawling back to you again.

Cold Spell

Just the other day, the most beautiful words
That I've ever spoken, came out of my mouth
But then I forget them, and I can accept that
Because I know that, there will always be more
It's like a dream, don't try to remember
Don't try to write it down, just leave it in the nighttime
And when I come back, I know it will be waiting
Just where I left it, know that it's the right time
But when I saw you, just the other night
First time in a long time, didn't quite expect it
Kissed me on my neck, holding back the tears,
You say that you're going through some shit
Let's just talk, let me in, but it's been too long, hasn't it?
Well I'm still here, listening, come on down, Rosie, give me a ring
I'll keep my phone close, I'll keep the ringer on
You say the less people know the better
But is it really better the less I know?
You're the one who came here, don't forget the reindeer
Never gets lost in the freshest snow
Just another day, just another dream
Just another cold spell for you and me
Keep my fingers crossed, keep my fingers crossed
If you wanna talk, all is never lost, I hope
It's just another cold spell.

I Still Believe

Sometimes I wish I had a globe, with no borders
And all the rivers and valleys and peaks would
Reflect the face of it, sometimes I wish I had a globe
Sometimes I wish I had a dog, just so I could play fetch with it
Bringing it back and throwing it further
Each and every day, sometimes I wish I had a dog
I just wanna communicate, with angels and screens
I just wanna be close to god, whatever that means
I just wanna be purified, wanna come clean
A human being, being human
I still believe in the power of rock 'n' roll
I still believe in the power of rock 'n' roll
Or at least a genreless, genreless music
With the power to change at will, with the power to change
I still believe.
