My Birthday, The Moon Festival - 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
