Lyrics (unofficial)

[rev. Aug. 23, 2018]

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 on
Into regions unexplored
A party of oaks with minds of earth
Gold and silver soon floorboard

My birthday, the moon festival
My legs a wisp of a ghost
My clothing, cotton under paper
My shoes, a sharpened post

My birthday, the moon festival
My birthday, the moon festival
My birthday, the moon festival
