A couple golden lonely devils Reachin' out for want and food But only fools feed golden devils So watch yourself or you'll be out of you
It's your birthday Happy birthday May this day bring all your nice blessings come true It's your birthday Happy birthday To those stars full of eyes, trapped simian cries From noise slinging monkeys at curbside
'Cause we're forever boys in corsets Growing closer to our choices Hangin' feathers in the closet To the drumming of mom's bracelets
So sing on Like you mean it Like you mean it Sing on Now that you know it too
'Cause evеryone goes through a goldrush or two With the dеvils' peril and shovels full of doom But the song goes on long after we're through Doing the worst we can do
And you said "yeah, but, " "That was then, this is now" With that blind evil Rapunzel poured down their mouths And now that we've spun around the sun again The night's best scenes are short size stories once again
And now more than ever we're boys in corsets Crawling spirals towards those choices Trying to pry the closet open With a crowbar made of bracelets
And we'll sing on (Sing on) Like we mean to (Sing on, sing) Because we do We'll sing on (Sing on) We want to (Sing on) And so one more for the bodies of our youth A devil will pedal anything for his due And the song goes on long after we're through Doing the worst we can do
And it goes on and on So honey, hold on, hold on Yeah, it goes on and on So honey, hold on, hold on Hold on We're just gettin' to the good part We're just gettin' to the good part
The finer skin, the hand me downs This foolish, hungry heart Singing along A couple golden lonely devils Reachin' out for want and food
