I'm sending a salute from somewhere out of line
Like an actor in a play that surely isn't mine
I've been here every birthday I don't ask for any fee
You'll come up empty anyhow, one thing I garantuee

I watch candles fall down, burning houses to the ground
But I never seem to hear another unrecorded sound
I just sometimes hear the echo of your heartbeat in my ear
It's your birthday, let's fight another year

Another invitation
An answer for the why
Happy birthday Happy birthday
Where did you go?

Are you afraid? Why would I even set you up?
Do you have any defence? Do you have the power to stop?
You almost got us killed now what's the game plan here today?
Let me stay

Another invitation
An answer for the why
Happy birthday Happy birthday
Where did you go?

Another invitation god I'm crawlin' now I'm crawlin' now
There's nothing in your way to tell me crawl down baby crawl down now
Everything seems better when you're down and on the ground
Crawl down baby crawl down baby now

Another invitation
An answer for the why
Happy birthday Happy birthday
Where did you go?
