Tekst :

Happy Birthday...so make a wish

Verse 1:
Please accept my apologies, wonder what would have been
Would you ve been a little angel or an angel of sin?
Tom-boy running around, hanging with all the guys.
Or a little tough boy with beautiful brown eyes?
I payed for the murder before they determined the sex
Choosing our life over your life meant your death
And you never got a chance to even open your eyes
Sometimes I wonder as a fetus if you faught for your life?
Would you have been a little genius in love with math?
Would you have played in your schoolclothes and made me mad?
Would you have been a little rapper like your papa da Piper?
Would you have made me quit smokin by finding one of my lighters?
I wonder about your skintone and shape of your nose?
And the way you would have laughed and talked fast or slow?
Think about it every year, so I picked up a pen
Happy birthday, love you whoever you woulda been
Happy birthday...

Chorus:
All I thought was a dream (make a wish)
Was as real as it seemed (happy birthday)
All I thought was a dream (make a wish)
Was as real as it seemed

I made a mistake!

Verse 2:
I ve got a millon excuses to why you died
Bet the people got their own reasons for homicide
Who s to say it woulda worked, and who s to say it wouldn t have?
I was young and strugglin but old enough to be your dad
The fear of being a father has never disappeared
Pondering frequently while I m zippin on my beer
My vision of a family was artificial and fake
So when it came time to create I made a mistake
Now you ve got a little brother maybe he s really you?
Maybe you really forgave us knowin we was confused?
Maybe everytime that he smiles it s you proudly knowin that your father s doin the right thing now?
I never tell a woman what to do with her body
But if she don t love children then we can t party
Think about it every year, so I picked up a pen
Happy birthday, love you whoever you woulda been
Happy birthday...

Chorus:
All I thought was a dream (make a wish)
Was as real as it seemed (happy birthday)
All I thought was a dream (yeah, make a wish)
Was as real as it seemed

I made a mistake!

And from the heavens to the womb to the heavens again
From the endin to the endin , never got to begin
Maybe one day we could meet face to face?
In a place without time and space
Happy birthday...

From the heavens to the womb to the heavens again
From the endin to the endin , never got to begin
Maybe one day we could meet face to face?
In a place without time and space
Happy birthday...

Chorus:
All I thought was a dream (make a wish)
Was as real as it seemed (happy birthday)
All I thought was a dream (make a wish)
Was as real as it seemed

I made a mistake...!

I don t want to lose you, this good thing that I got cause if I do
I will surely, surely lose a lot
cause your love is better than any love I know
it s like thunder and lightning
the way you love me is...

Gdzie są okna gdzie są drzwi
do świata, który gdzieś tu był
zanim przeniosło nas wstecz
powroty więc zdarzają się
lecz czy ktoś czeka któż to wie
więzienie cuchnie jak śmierć
a w moim mieście nie ma już
tych dziewczyn, które były tu
i nie ma niedrogich serc
to wszystko...

She pulls the shade;
It s just another sunny Sunday
She dodges the light like Blanche DuBois
Bright colors fade away on such a sunny Sunday;
She waits for the night to fall
Then she points a pistol through the door
And she aims...

Oh, Bernardine (sigh)
Oh, oh, oh, Bernardine
I can tell by the dimple on your chin
You re in beautiful shape for the shape you re in
An I m in shape for Bernardine

Oh, Bernardine
Oh, oh, oh, Bernardine
When...
