ooh avi's post, and avi himself, made me think of these nice translated kent lyrlics to one of my favorite songs. good for a birthday... or any day!
I am 40 years from death
According to today’s statistics
It is a soothing thought
That we have such little time
And time softly crushes your resistance
It will melt away like snow
Until you hit your cane against the wall
That you built around your island
And all your friends
And your entire family
They walk swiftly towards the day
When they will no longer exist
But darling we will all one time die
Yes we will all one time die
Yes we will all one time die
And he who stares out from the mirror
It can’t be me, can it?
When did I become so ugly and tired and old
So lonely, coward and weak
And you hate who you become
And despise who you were
And then there is no god in the world
That can give you an answer
Except that we will all one time die
Yes we will all one time die
Yes we will all one time die
