Birthday — текст песни (Sugarcubes)

she lives in this house over there, has her world outside it.
grapples with the earth with her fingers and her mouth--she`s five years old.
thread worms on a string, keeps spiders in her pocket, collects fly-wings in
a jar scrubs horse flies and pinches them on a line. she`s got one friend
he lives next door, they listen to the weather, he knows how many freckles she`sgot, she
scratches his beard. she`s painting huge books, glues them together,
they saw a big raven; it glided down the sky--she touched it. today`s a birth-
dat--they`re sucking cigars, he got a chain of flowers, sows a bird in her
knickers, they`re sucking cigars, lie in the bathtub, chain of flowers.
