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
The world at my command
Through the doubts i ran
Looking for a man
That looked like me
And now it can be told
I'm a quarter 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 behing the door
The sound was low
Ball game on the street
Disappeared behing 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
But i'm half a century high
In the tube where i was killed
I was fulfilled
The lines 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 of old
But i'm a half a century high
Meio Século de Altura
No tubo onde eu nasci
Eu poderia jurar
Que havia tanto pra ver
Que havia tão pouco pra ser
Mas eu era livre
O mundo na minha mão
Através das dúvidas eu corri
Procurando um cara
Que se parecesse comigo
E agora posso contar
Estou com um quarto de século
Mas sou meio século de altura
No tubo onde eu cresci
Eu estava sozinho
A figura no chão
O sonho atrás da porta
O som era baixo
Jogo de bola na rua
Desapareceu atrás dos meus pés
Sem fôlego meu coração batia
Pra ver um show
E agora posso contar
Estou com um quarto de século
Mas sou meio século de altura
No tubo onde eu fui morto
Eu estava completo
As linhas de luz se curvavam
Eu encarava até o fim
E de novo
Fascinado pela moda
Eu dei toda a mente que eu tinha
E sempre que eu estava triste
Eu tinha meus amigos
E agora posso contar
Estou com um quarto de século
Mas sou meio século de altura
