Em
Happy Birthday. Happy Birthday
Am B7
What a rhapsody of fear
Am Em
Let's strum the harp of pointlessness
C B7 Em
You survived another year
Em
Each little candle a tiny death knell
Am
A snickering footman, a tolling bell;
B7
One for deception, and one for a crime
* * * *
And one for a dream extinguished by time
Em

Am
'till we're just an old sponge cake left out in the rain
B7
Stumbling to oblivion from embryo to ghost;
* * * *
So let's charge our dirty glasses and raise a futile toast:
Em Am B7 Em
"To you, and your meaningless milestone of decay"
Em
Happy Birthday. Happy Birthday
Am B7
... like anybody cares
Am Em
It's a lie, it's a lie, it's a lie, it's a lie!
B7 Em
It's a cake in the shape of a lie
Am
Why use that knife to cut the cake?
Em
Why here's the reaper scythe
