Lyrics

Birthday

She lives in this house over there
Has her world outside it
Scrabbles in the earth with her fingers
And her mouth--she's five years old
Thread worms on a string
Keeps spiders in her pocket
Collects fly-wings in a jar scrubs horse flies
And pinches them on a line
She's got one 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
Glues them together
They saw a big raven;
It glided down the sky--she touched it
Today's a birthday they're smoking cigars
He got a chain of flowers
Sows a bird in her knickers
They're smoking cigars
Lie in the bathtub
Chain of flowers
