Three Ovens at Dawn

(whoops) Sugar dust is falling like a heavy winter snow I'm staring at

my twenty-seventh candle in the glow And the timers are screaming

Yeah, the timers are screaming

It's three AM, the bakery is quiet and warm I'm sweeping up

the flour from the weekend storm

Checking my reflection in the chrome display

Just another year of letting youth drift away

And the yeast is rising but I feel so small

Shadows dancing on the yellow-tiled wall (oh-oh-oh)

Sugar dust is falling like a heavy winter snow I'm staring at

my twenty-seventh candle in the glow

And the timers are screaming

Yeah, the timers are screaming

I write the birthday wishes with the strawberry glaze

Thinking 'bout the choices of my younger days

While the ovens hum a low and steady tune I'm sweeping up

the sugar

underneath the moon

Are we rising, are we burning?

Is the clock forever turning?

(spinning around) Sugar dust is falling like a heavy winter snow I'm

staring at my twenty-seventh candle in the glow

And the timers are screaming

Yeah, the timers are screaming

Sugar dust is falling...

(the

timers are screaming)
