A more dynamic, relaxed, and “dream-like” reworking of one of Great Grandpa’s oldest songs, first released on their debut EP, Can Opener.
[Verse 1]
Happy Birthday, dear Paul
Older once again
I read it on the wall
Compare myself to
Happy news to you
Lazy, unglued
Fills selfish grooves
Prepare myself to lose
[Chorus]
If life's a dream, then I'm not sleepin', I’m not sleepin' in
Slow to speech
The pace is thickenin', space is sickenin' feel
But I'm a freak
So look at me, no signs what you're missin'
[Verse 2]
Faster news to you
Nothin' to do
No one to be
Bite with no teeth
All the lives we've lived
All the lives to be
Are full of trees
Changin' leaves
[Chorus]
If life's a dream, then I'm not sleepin', I’m not sleepin' in
Slow to speech
The pace is thickenin', space is sickenin' feel
But I'm a freak
So look at me, no signs what you're missin'
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
If life's a dream, then I'm not sleepin', I’m not sleepin' in
We're slow to speech
The pace is thickenin', space is sickenin' feel
But I'm a freak
So look at me, no signs what you're missin'
If life's a dream, then I'm not sleepin', I’m not sleepin' in
Slow to speech
The pace is thickenin', space is sickenin' feel
But I'm a freak
So look at me, no signs what you're missin'
[Outro]
Be a sweeter daughter
An honest father
A stronger brother
Be a selfless mother
A selfish lover
A mindless hunter
Be a sweeter daughter
An honest father
A stronger brother
Be a selfless mother
A selfish lover
A mindless hunter
Be a sweeter daughter
An honest father
A stronger brother
Be a selfless mother
A selfish lover
A mindless hunter
