Outside in the hall there's a catfight
It's just after midnight
I guess I'll be alright
Laying out on the floor, drunk and poor
How much longer? How much more?
Rock me to sleep, strong and deep
Screaming cats, they give me the creeps
But aside from all that I feel no pain
Staring up at the ceiling stain
Neon in the window
Sirens far away
News on the radio
Happy birthday
They're at it again next door
This whole floor
I swear they're out to drive me crazy
But not right now
I'm high as a cloud
I'm soft and grey and lazy
Smoking out the window
Feeling far away
News on the radio
Happy birthday
Fly me out the window
Somewhere far away
News on the radio
Happy birthday
Happy birthday
Happy birthday
I wish I was someone else. I wish I was different. I wish the faces in the magazines would stop reminding me of my background. I wish I could sleep. I'd give you anything if you'd knock me out, right here, right now. Goodnight sweetheart. The stitches are coming apart.
