Half a Century High

Lyrics

In the tube where I was born, I could sworn there was so much to see
There was so little to be, but I was free
The world at my command
Through the dots I ran, looking for a man that looked like me

Chorus:
And now it can be told; I'm a quarter of a century old
But I'm a half a century high

In the tube where I was grown I was alone
The figure on the floor, the dream behind the door, the sound was low
The ball game on the street disappeared behind my feet
Out of breath my heart would beat to see another show

Chorus

In the tube where I was killed I was fulfilled
The lies of light would bend, I'd stare until the end, and then again
Fascinated by the fad I gave all the mind I had
And whenever I was sad I had my friend

Chorus
