My Birthday Moon Festival Lyrics - Steve Kilbey

My birthday, the moon festival 

My life in the sea of tears 

My holiday, a misadventure 

My soul, a short career 

Like a lizard the road crawls forward 

Into regions unexplored 

By their boats the mayans stirred 

Gold and silver soon flow aboard 

My birthday, the moon festival 

My legs a wisp of ghost 

My clothing, cotton under paper 

My shoes, a sharpened post 

My birthday, the moon festival
