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 left 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 Ballgame on the street Disappeared behind my feet Out of breath my heart would beat To see a show And now it can be told I'm a quarter of a century old SongtexteBut I'm a half a century high 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 friends And now it can be told I'm a quarter of a century old But I'm a half a century high Aus Songtexte Mania
