September

Happy birthday, make a wish
I know this isn’t really how you want to celebrate it
Withdrawal shits and gun fights on the lawn

All your friends are idiots
Man the air really went out of his balloon, didn’t it
I wish he would just leave us alone

So hold your breath past the cemetery now
Feels like it could still be all right somehow

And I can smell the winter on the breeze
It makes me feel like starting over
Do you wanna go somewhere with me?

'Cause I can see that you’re a bird
Let me grab onto your wings and fly out of this world
I can see it’s never gonna change
And I'm so tired of being harangued
I know if we leave he’s gonna be mad
But I’ll kill anyone who tries to make me stay

So even though I don’t know where to go
We’re almost to the end of kauffman road

But I can feel the wet grass on my cheek
And I think this time it’s really over
Is anybody going to rescue me?
Can I get a ride?
Daddy’s got the gun out tonight
And the neighbors are all riled up
But I wanna have some fun

To the kids you’re a hag
To the older ones you’ll always be a spoiled brat
But there’s some things people never really see

So I know the turnpike ain’t the place to be
But at least you’re here with me

And I can smell your mitchum on the breeze
It makes me feel like I'm getting older
September is the only time I'm free

So can I get a ride?
Daddy’s got the gun out tonight
And the neighbors are all riled up
I wanna have some fun

September is the only time I'm free
But I know this time it’s really over
So do you really wanna fuck with me
I swear this time I'm really gonna leave
