Birthday Boys
Midnight Revelations: Gina's Journey Through Shadows and Light
Lyrics
Gina knows what it's like to be
Gina understands the experience of
On the other side of midnight
Being on the other side of midnight
Gina's eyes are sensitive
Gina's eyes are perceptive
To the brighter side of daylight
Especially to the brighter aspects of daylight
She knows what it's like to be
She has knowledge of
The topic of conversation
Being the subject of conversation
While birthday boys are wallowing
While birthday boys are immersed
In ichors of adulation
In the praises and admiration
I don't mind
Expressing a lack of concern
If you stand around and look at me tonight
Indifferent to being observed tonight
I quite like it
Expressing enjoyment of the attention
Guys like us are blind
Men like them are oblivious
To the dirt that gathers in between
To the mundane problems accumulating
The toes of moderation
Between the boundaries of moderation
Gina knows
A reaffirmation of Gina's awareness
You can come around but don't you talk to me
Permission to be present but not engage
I'm not in the mood for conversation
Not interested in conversing
You can come around
Repetition of the invitation to be around
But don't you talk to me
Reiteration of the preference not to talk
You can come around but don't you talk to me
Restating the mood for non-conversation
I'm not in the mood for conversation
Emphasis on not being in the mood to talk
You can come around
Repeating the caution against talking
But don't you talk to me
Reiteration of the preference not to talk
I don't mind
Reiteration of the lack of concern
If you come around and drink up all my wine
Indifferent to others consuming the wine
Won't be the first time
Previous incidents of wine consumption
Sometimes I find
Discovery of small, hidden treasures
Little treasures hidden deep within my drawers
Within personal belongings
Gina knows
Restatement of Gina's understanding
You can come around but don't you talk to me
Permission to be present but not engage
I'm not in the mood for conversation
Not interested in conversing
You can come around
Repetition of the invitation to be around
But don't you talk to me
Reiteration of the preference not to talk
You can come around but don't you talk to me
Restating the mood for non-conversation
I'm not in the mood for conversation
Emphasis on not being in the mood to talk
You can come around
Repeating the caution against talking
But don't you talk to me
Reiteration of the preference not to talk
You can come around but don't you talk to me
Restating the mood for non-conversation
Gina knows, what it's like to be
Reaffirmation of Gina's understanding
I'm not in the mood for conversation
Not in the mood for conversation
You can come around
Repetition of the invitation to be around
But don't you talk to me
Reiteration of the preference not to talk
Gina knows, what it is to find.
Reaffirmation of Gina's awareness
