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 who looked like me

And now it can be told

I'm a quarter of a century old

But I'm half a century high

In the tube where I was raised

I was amazed

On the pictures I would lean

That went flashing on the screen

Oh, I was dazed

But then my eyes were made

hypnotized insane (?)

Buried in my brain

In a blinding blaze

And now it can be told

I'm a quarter of a century old

But I'm half a century high

In the tube where I was grown

I was alone

The figure on the floor (Laying on the floor)

The dream behind the door (I'd lock the closet door)

The sound was low

Ballgames on the street

Disappeared behind my feet

Out of breath my heart would be

To see another show

And now it can be told

I'm a quarter of a century old

But I'm half a century high

In the tube where I was made

I was afraid

Spinning through the space

another scene, another face,

Another shade

Mirror of my mind

On electric wheels of wine

Living on the lines that were displayed

And now it can be told

I'm a quarter of a century old

But I'm half a century high

In the tube where I was fed

I lost my head

I watch the lives they led

Watch
