Ice Machine Lullaby

(shh) "Hey... I'm just standing by the ice machine...

still waiting, I

guess."

I'm throwing parties for one

Under the flour-dusted light Yeah,

my birthday has begun In an empty bakery tonight (spinning round)

Fluorescent tubes hum a quiet tune

I watch the glaze drip on a wooden spoon

Your soft-launch photo is still on my screen

Just like the cold frost of that ice machine

And the phone stays dark on the flour bin

Yeah, the worst kind of spiral is setting in (oh-oh)

I'm throwing parties for one

Under the flour-dusted light

Yeah, my birthday has begun In an empty bakery tonight

(so

bright,

so bright)

One shaky video, a candle spark

Just a single phone light in the dark (watching it burn) (ahhhh)

No call tonight

Just the frosting and the neon sign

(happy birthday to me)
