Birthday Lyrics

closing time for the sunshine
ladies are painting their faces
I combed my hair it looked just right
went out to go to these places I go

it’s early the birds won’t stop screaming
don’t tell a soul it’s my birthday
I can’t make my heart stop beating
I had a happy, happy birthday this year

upside down reads sorry from the trashcan
regret you miserable lover
I closed my hands ‘til they turned white
this cancer has taken both body and mind

on the ground, dragging of the boot heels
my feet are so tired of leaving
pride shakes the hand in the mirror

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
