Hold me down I’m floating
Into the ether, getting deeper
And I don’t know how high I’m going
And as I look out nothing’s clearer
Now am I an astronaut? Or am I just lost in space?
Now am I an astronaut? Or am I just lost in space?
Breath out, lean in, let go
But this is deeper than my airflow
And as I watch my meter dropping
I can feel my heartbeat thumping
Now am I an astronaut? Or am I just lost in space?
Yeah am I an astronaut? Or am I just lost in space?
Way out there, way out there, way out there, way out there, way out there, way out there, way out there, way out there, way out there, way out there…
Am I lost?

Happy birthday to your neck
Happy birthday to your legs
Happy birthday to your eyes
Happy birthday to your thighs
Happy birthday to your wrists
Happy birthday to your lips
Happy birthday to your back
but most of all
Happy birthday to your ass
Happy birthday to your hips
Happy birthday to your finger tips
Happy birthday to your cheeks
Happy birthday to your feet
Happy birthday to your waist
Happy birthday to your shoulder blades
Happy birthday, you’re stacked
From head to toe
And back up to your ass
Happy birthday to your ass
Isn’t so nice now that the birthday song is in the public domain
But the birthday song doesn’t say a thing about your lats, your traps, your calves and nothing about your ass
Happy birthday to your ass

It’s ok, it’s alright
Another year older’s just another year alive
I’ll take my chances
Darkest days, and loudest nights
Don’t think I’m too old to still say I’m too young to die
I like my chances
I’ll make my chances
Brightest Days, quiet nights
Another year older is another year alive

I’m not thinking about
the half life of love anymore
I was wrong about that, so wrong
I can’t think of a place
you belong more now that you’re here
now that you’re here
don’t know where you came from
couldn’t have dreamt you up
Love so old
Somethings are forever
Not us
Every sound, every color
All for you
As long as you want it
Real life
As long as you’ll have it
Real love
As much as you want
Real life, real love
Your first day
Unfolded an old memory
My first visit
To the ocean, an oregon beach
So far from home where water is sweet
I didn’t know so i filled up my hands
And i brought them close
And I’m still there
Coughing
Sweetheart
I still know nothing
But i’ll tell you
One thing
You have my full attention
You have my full attention

Outside on the porch, with a broom in hand,
You told me to do something that I didn’t understand.
I did my best, I had to guess,
How to deal with your mess,
But I was wrong.
Sometimes the servant knows,
His master reaps where another sows,
So what to do?
Do I give it back to you?
You told me that god is like a man,
Trying to explain as best he can,
To child, how to be good,
Using only simple words,
Man the hubris in you is absurd
So why do I cry?
When I think how you’ll feel,
A pain in my eye,
A lump in my throat, an Achilles heel,
Thou hast that is thine,
There is nothing more I have to give,
My birthday wish is just live,
And then to die.
And I don’t want to cry.
There, Thou hast that is thine.
Now cast me aside
Into the darkness where I‘ll gnash my teeth alone and be alright,
But I’m still going to cry.

One month I've been in Durango
Two since I crossed the Grande
Three without my palomino
And four with lead in my hand
Five months when they tracked me to Reno
Six without a plan
Seven when I stole that palomino
And eight since I shot a man
The stars they shine like candles
And the moon is round like cake
And I wish the sun to find me
Twenty-three
Nine months since I made a bet
Ten when I rode to Tucson
Eleven when I kissed that brunette
Twelve when they sang that song
Happy birthday cowboy
We'll miss you in St. Louis
Happy birthday cowboy
See you in the city
The cake was full of candles
And their faces shined like stars
But I wished it all behind me
'Til I turn twenty-three
Three weeks since I had a campfire
Two since had I had a meal
One when that farmer saw me
Now I'm hiding from the federales
The rifles spark like candles
And the bullets hit their mark
How I wish the sun would find me
Twenty-three

Lyrics from Leonard Cohen's original poem "Wish Me Luck":
a fresh spiderweb
billowing
like a spinnaker
across the open window
and here he is
the little master
sailing by
on a thread of milk
wish me luck
admiral
I haven’t finished anything
in a long time

Time is passing, it’s hauling ass
and the days of the future now will soon be the past
and we are flying toward ‘em in executive class and now
here comes george’s birthday
Don’t know when but it’s comin soon
me & kyle were on tenterhooks the whole of june
and heard the same few jokes about how liddy was due and now
here comes george’s birthday
I remember november 2021
talking pregnancy with hilary
and now the waiting is almost done
Time is chuggin like a high-speed train
it’s been pouring down on us like proverbial rain
and passing dads making jokes about indelible change
it doesn’t move like the moon, it isn’t waxing and waning
it’s a one-way ticket to sublime and nameless
I can promise things'll never be the same and now
here comes george’s birthday

Davey went to space Tuesday morning
On a rocket owned by an asshole
And Davey passed away In liftoff
The pressure was too much for his body
Cause Davey hadn’t trained at all
He lived a life, but was it a good one?
No, it was not especially good
But there were some parts that were good for Davey
Davey found out what happens to us when we die:
We all go to heaven
Turns out that god is pretty chill with whatever ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Now Davey’s in heaven with everyone
He’s having lots of fun
He earned it

Is it only a chance that time
says a day for me’ll be fine
enough to take whatever will be mine?

We drove 45 minutes to sit and drink
wine in a greenhouse
I thought it was ridiculous
Why are we paying markups of 408% to drink wine in this greenhouse, it’s really not that cold
You said shut the fuck up, do we have a greenhouse in our backyard? Tell me, do we?
And today’s my birthday, baby
This is what I wanna do.
Tell me, when was the last time you drank wine in a place as beautiful as this?
I was happy to let it go.
Sometimes I need a woman to remind me I’m a grump, that in that way, like my father I don’t want to be.
And 408% really isn’t that much to sit here and sweat with you.

Was it such a surprise that you didn’t know
All that you thought that you did
That magic 8 ball ain’t sayin’ at all what you hoped that it said
You can fake it and make it a win
Give’em a shit-eating grin
But if that doesn’t work well still one thing’s for sure you can always just pretend
You know everything
Don’t you?
Did it come as a shock that you didn't have
all that you thought that you should
That money you borrowed, you’d pay back tomorrow if the interest weren’t so good
You have everything
Don’t you?
Did it catch you off guard that you wouldn’t live
Forever and happily so?
The birthday cake sags with all of that wax til it slides down to the floor
You can fake it and may get a win
Put on a shit-eating grin
And if that doesn’t work well still one thing’s for sure you can always just admit
You know nothing
Don’t you?
