Sufjan Stevens - Happy Birthday lyrics

[Verse 1] Like the lantern on a tree Your burden bright as weary be Periwig on parakeet You're God's great paramour and sweet [Chorus] I'm happy, I'm happy Your birthday brings a pardoning I'm happy, I'm happy You're like a bird that will not be [Verse 2] Yours will number, yours will be A paragon, a Paraclete Keep your bed warm, keep your humor Keep your proverbs short and sweet [Chorus 2] I'm sorry, I'm sorry That life is anxious, life is mean I'm sorry, I'm sorry A pair of shoes is what you need [Chorus]
