The Birthday Horror Song
HomeAboutMusicComicsBlogLinksContact

I wrote this song for a number of people who had their birthdays around the same time.  Most of them were horror writers of some sort.  The song is thus fairly self-explanatory.

Lyrics and Chords
The Birthday Horror Song
Am
Life is good, and love is sweet.
Dm
Ancient evils need to eat.
E7
Too bad you are made of meat.
Am
Happy birthday.

Am
Artifact from parts unknown
Dm
Makes your body not your own.
E7
Look at all the bits you've grown.
Am
Happy birthday.

Dm

It is great you've got a son.
Am
Oh, now he's possessed: what fun.
Dm
It is time for you to run.
E7
Happy birthday.

Am
Life is sweet, and love is strong.
Dm
Everything is slightly wrong.
E7
You have been dead all along.
Am
Happy birthday.

[Repeat three more times, getting faster with every repetition.]
