Half a Century High

In the tube where I was born

I could have sworn

There was so much to see

There was so little to be

But I was free

World at my command

Through the dots I ran

Looking for a man that looked like me

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

Ball game on the street

Disappeared behind my feet

Out of breath my heart would beat

To see another show

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 killed

I was fulfilled

The lies of light would blend

I'd stare until the end

And then again

Faded in the fad

I gave all the mind I had

And whenever I was sad

I had my friend

So now it can be told

I'm a quarter of a century old

But I'm a half a century high
