Bilingual
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
ย
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
