22
But I'm half a century high
23
In the tube where I was raised
24
I was amazed
25
On the pictures I would lean
26
That went flashing on the screen
27
Oh, I was dazed
28
But then my eyes were made
29
Hypnotized insane (?)
30
Buried in my brain
31
In a blinding blaze
32
And now it can be told
33
I'm a quarter of a century old
34
But I'm half a century high
35
In the tube where I was grown
36
I was alone
37
The figure on the floor (Laying on the floor)
38
The dream behind the door (I'd lock the closet door)
39
The sound was low
40
Ballgames on the street
41
Disappeared behind my feet
42
Out of breath my heart would be
43
To see another show
44
And now it can be told
45
I'm a quarter of a century old
46
But I'm half a century high
47
In the tube where I was made
48
I was afraid
49
Spinning through the space
50
Another scene, another face,
51
Another shade
52
Mirror of my mind
53
On electric wheels of wine
54
Living on the lines that were displayed
55
And now it can be told
56
I'm a quarter of a century old
57
But I'm half a century high
58
In the tube where I was fed
59
I lost my head
60
I watch the lives they led
61
Watch them to the end
62
And then again
63
An open kind of laugh
64
I gave all the mind I had
65
And whenever I was sad
66
I had my friends
67
And now it can be told
68
I'm a quarter of a century old
69
But I'm half a century high
70
In the tube where I was killed
71
I was fulfiled
72
Such an easy way to win
73
Talking to my twin
74
No sign of sin
75
The sacrifice was small
76
Fascination was the fall
77
I was extended by the wall that held me in
78
And now it can be told
79
I'm a quarter of a century old
80
But I'm half a century high
81
In the tube where I was killed
82
I was fulfilled
83
The lies of light would bend
84
I'd stare until the end
85
And then again
86
Faded and the fad
87
I gave all the mind I had
88
And whenever I was sad
89
I had my friends
90
And now it can be told
91
I'm a quarter of a century old
92
But I'm half a century high
93
In the tube where I was born
94
I could have sworn
95
There was so much to see
96
There was so little to be
97
But I was free
98
World at my command
99
Through the dots I ran
100
Looking for a man who looked like me
101
And now it can be told
102
I'm a quarter of a century old
103
But I'm half a century high
