Birthday boy can't explain
Christmas eve he's born again
On the line a broken train
Going nowhere endless rain
Birthday boy so afraid
Plays the machines in the arcade
Oh baby do you remember
He's been through all this before
Spent the summer getting nowhere
Taking all of the blame for the city
Calculating from pain comes pity
Christmas Eve a time of joy
If you believe in Birthday boy
This time around it's all a mistake
Is he deluded or just a fake
Oh baby do you remember
He's been through all this before
Spent the summer getting nowhere
Taking all of the blame for the city
Calculating from pain comes pity
If you knew his name
Would you feel the same
If you knew his name
Birthday boy stands apart
As the drama's about to start
A quick betrayal, a speedy trial
As before, complete denial
Oh baby do you remember
He's been through all this before
Spent the summer getting nowhere
Taking all of the blame for the city
Calculating from pain comes pity
If you knew his name
Would you feel the same
