Fourteen to Forty-one
Start blind, end up dumb
You're 16, You're 23, you're 32, you're 41

Gonna leave it all behind and not say sorry
Yea you are always right, so why worry?
You learn to steal and lie to friends -- You trust no one
My birthday's comin' around again

14 to 41
Start blind, end up dumb
You're 16, You're 23, you're 32, you're 41

And there is no other way -- And there is no other
I'm waiting for the bell to ring, I'm always older
Pressures and folds of fat and lip-stained lipstick calendars
all hide under marriage porcelain that I'm falling over

My birthday, my birthday, my worst day
My Birthday's comin around again --

14 to 41
Start blind, end up dumb
You're 16, You're 23, you're 32, you're 41

14 to 41
Start blind, always end up dumb
You're 16, You're 23, you're 32, you're 41
14 to 41

You're all those things and then your none
You're through all that, you've just begun
