Birthday Song

Oh no, I'm crying on my birthday
'Bout what you said or what you didn't say
It's not your fault, think I was born this way
I was born crying on my birthday
Oh, ain't that the truth?
I'm this far in my youth
And I don't know how to have a good time
Yeah, how to have fun?
When is it enough?
I wanna be happy inside
Inside myself
Inside my room
I'm sad because there's nothing I can do
But I don't wanna do anything
And now I'm crying on my birthday
'Bout what you said or what you didn't say
It's not your fault, think I was born this way
Wish I was born on some other day
Like if I'd been born
A Capricorn
Maybe I'd be lucky
Or in the summertime
No, but Pisces's my sign
And I'm just so fussy
I think I was cursed
I guess it could be worse
But still there's nothing I can do
But I don't wanna do anything
Like if I'd been born
A Capricorn
Maybe I'd be lucky
Or in the summertime
No, but Pisces's my sign
And I'm just so damn fussy
I think I was cursed
At birth
I guess it could be worse
But still there's nothing I can do
But I don't wanna do anything
Oh no, I'm crying on my birthday
'Bout what you said or what you didn't say
It's not your fault, think I was born this way
I was born crying on my birthday
I was born crying on my birthday
I was born crying on my birthday

Supermarket Sushi

Just take a chance on me
I'm like supermarket sushi
I'm not what you'd expect
No, I won't make you sick
If you give me a shot
I know what I'm what you want
Salmon, tuna fish, or cod,
Carrot, cucumber, avocado
Your California roll
If you give me a try
You might like what you find
Yeah, I could blow your mind
With pickled ginger on the side
There's no need for cooked or fried
And I'm free of parasites
I'm ready for the checkout line
Just take a chance on me
I'm like supermarket sushi
I'm not what you expect
No, I won't make you sick
If you give me a shot
I know what I'm what you want
Salmon, tuna fish, or cod,
Carrot, cucumber, avocado
Your Boston roll
Your Philadelphia roll
Anywhere you wanna roll
Just take a chance on me
I'm like supermarket sushi

If I Were Beautiful

I don't mean to be negative
But there's always more dishes in the sink
Doesn't matter what I do
They just won't stay clean
And I don't call myself a pessimist
Nor would I call that glass half full
No one knows the future
Who can blame me for feeling so unsure?
So if you wanna take me out
Then take me out
To that place in the south
You always talk about
And if you like me
Then tell me
I'm having difficulty
Liking me myself
I need a little help
And if I were beautiful
Everyone would take my picture
Make it easy to remember
Oh, when life was better
But I just look like this
That is, I look like me
So I write songs instead
To keep my memories
So if you wanna take me out
Then take me out
To that place in the south
You always talk about
And if you like me
Then tell me
I'm having difficulty
Liking me myself
Myself
I need a little help
Help
And if I were beautiful
Everyone would take my picture
Make it easy to remember
Oh, when life was better
But I just look like this
That is, I look like me
So I write songs instead
To keep my memories

Only Child

You only ever laugh at my jokes
When you are high
And you have to get super drunk
Before you can cry
Oh, what's it like
Being an only child?
Are you lonely?
Are you lonely?
You never ever say when it's your birthday
So no one knows the date
A party with lots of nice people
It's all the things you hate
If I asked you out to dinner, well, I know
You are coming late
I know better than to call you
I know better but I wait
Oh, what's it like
Being an only child?
Are you lonely?
Are you lonely?
Oh, what's it like
Being an only child?
Are you lonely?
Are you lonely?
Are you lonely?
Are you lonely?

Elastic Baby
03:33
|

|
I am just a piece of chewing gum
Hold me in your teeth and stretch
Pull me out 'til I'm so thin
Can't believe I haven't broken yet
Or you could spit me out
You could throw me on the ground
In the middle of a crowd
Might as well use your foot if not your mouth
Yeah, you could step on me
You could chew me up
But I'm elastic, baby
I'm like chewing gum
And if you wanted to consume me
I will live inside your body
Seven years sounds long and lonely
But I've been alone and I'm still living
Yeah, sometimes it really gets to me
Feeling used and useless relentlessly
Yeah, sometimes it makes it hard to sleep
But I don't know any other way to be
Yeah, you could step on me
You could chew me up
But I'm elastic, baby
I'm like chewing gum
Yeah, you could step on me
You could chew me up
Don't know how or why I do it
But somehow I keep on
Yeah, go on and step on me
You could chew me up
But I'm elastic, baby
I'm like chewing gum
I'm elastic, baby
I'm like chewing gum
