8 Lyrics

Today's the 8th anniversary of the day I was born
I've been alive exactly eight years today
My name is Joey and I can't seem to find an excuse
Not to have a wild, raging party for my birthday

So I invited all my friends to come and started making plans
For the greatest party 3rd grade's ever seen
All my closest friends and I would go to Skippy's Pizza-Rama
They've got skeeball and these dancing chimpanzees
Every person in attendance would have candy all his own
And more pizza that an army could consume

I paid everyone's admission and I thought my heart could burst
With excitement as we walked into the room

As I turned to see the joy on all the faces of my friends
I was shocked to see an empty space where they had all just been

I'm so alone and it's by birthday
All by myself, what is the deal
I'm the only person sitting at a table set for 12
And I just can't help but think that this could be
How God must feel

My best friend Andy's sharing pizza that I bought with some dumb girl
And Steven Dobbs is playing air hockey with Jake
Kevin's paying Jr. Higher's with my tokens for his life
And I think Jeff is selling slices of my cake

Everywhere I look I see those who should be looking at me
It's my birthday, after all, but they don't care
I put so much into making this a party they would like
A guess I thought they'd have gratitude to spare
As I turned...

I'm so alone and I'm their savior
All by myself , what is the deal
I'm the only one who saved them from the sins that held them down
And I just can't help but think that they don't care
How I might feel
