Today Is Blackie's Birthday

(Album: The Supersonic Storybook - 1991)

oh, (that) baby, you look so tired
a full-grown baby
you're growing so tired of growing old
and how old are ya'?
and were you ever (really ?...baby ?)
there'll be a new Sun rising
for another day's passing
over your gray horizon

today is the first day of the rest a' your life
time goes away
you've thought about checking out and don't deny it
time goes away
but if you really wanna can the music,
you better sleep on it
fill your life with the love or lose it,
like a' rock 'n roll music
no more aging now
today you're gonna help celebrate Blackie's birthday
he's 22 today
it's Blackie's birthday
he's 22 today
so you're gonna get up
you're gonna wrap him up a big surprise
today is Blackie's birthday
and we'll sing happy birthday to you

today is the first day of the rest a' your life
time goes away
you've thought about checking out and don't deny it, already tried it
time won't go away, no it won't
but if you really wanna can the music,
you better sleep on it
fill your life with the love or lose it,
like a' rock 'n roll music
no more aging now for us
today Urge Overkill celebrates Blackie's birthday
he's 22 today
it's Blackie's birthday
he's 22 today
so you're gonna get up
we're gonna wrap him up a big surprise
today is Blackie's birthday
so Blackie, happy birthday
yeah, oh-ho
