"Murphy Had A Birthday" lyrics - GUIDED BY VOICES

[Intro:]
One, two, three, four

[Chorus:]
Come sit before me, I've been waiting for you
Tell me your story, mine would only bore you

A young man lives his life
You're free and so unwind
An old man takes his time
Recorded out the line
I'll celebrate the years
What do you think I will hear?
We'll raise our glasses high
And let the rockets fly

[Chorus:]
Come sit before me, I've been waiting for you
Tell me your story, mine would only bore you

Today you're eighty-two
We walk the path with you
I brought an open heart
I don't know where to start
But I will laugh with you
And we'll get drunk again
The time will scratch away
Beyond us thinly to the ground

[Chorus:]
Come sit before me, I've been waiting for you
Tell me your story, mine would only bore you

We live in abstract words
Although it's often heard
And every man is right
To sit and white on wine
I need reality
The world wide that's for me
One day, we'll have to go
And that's through, we both know

[Chorus:]
Come sit before me, I've been waiting for you
Tell me your story, mine would only bore you

Today you're eighty-two
We walk the path with you
I brought an open heart
I don't know where to start
But I will laugh with you
And we'll get drunk again
If I will scratch away
Beyond that thinly to the ground

[Outro:]
Come sit before me
Come sit before me
Come sit before me
Come sit before me
