Birthday

by Sophie Hunger

on Monday's Ghost (2008), Hotter Than July (1980)

In my backyard I grew a statue
Overwhelming and high
And I thought it was a virtue
To gaze at it and sigh
And time passed by, and so did I.

Now I just woke up in your morning
To find that I'm there too
Suddenly you start moving, saying:
"What is it you do?"

You're not a star but you are, you are
And I'm not your fan but I am, I am

And I'm so glad that you're no legend
But that there are two cups on the floor
Please don't talk about heaven
Let's have a beer on the shore
You're not unbelievable but you are here
And I'm not unachievable but now I'm here
