Birthday Card

from Sugar Junkie by Crimson Hue

/

lyrics

One thing I’ve learned
Nothing is what it seems
Loveliness can burn
Beauty can be obscene
Every paving stone is a trap door
Every shadow harbours the beast
You have to take less when you really want more
You can be obtuse, but you can’t be oblique

Everybody is listening
So listen close to me
Every body is listening
But are they listening to me?

Saw my lover’s portrait in the fire
Saw her likeness turn to smoke
Hands in her pockets, I was eaten by desire
Sick and tired of the same old joke

Why can’t we keep quiet?
Why can’t we settle down?
Every crowd on the street is a riot
Hung, drawn and quartered, sold by the pound
The government have been taping you
You’re in the party, so it’s not so bad
Don’t be oppressed, don’t be blue
They’re sending you a birthday card
