What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
Well I felt like I was born today
2
So I took it upon me to go away
3
To gather my thoughts and go away
4
Where I could
5
(Be used by)
6
Somebody
7
Now over the hill, like always you know
8
Were Billy and Frankie and Henry and Joe
9
And they beat and broke me hard and slow
10
To prove I was nobody
11
And no one I was and so I remained
12
Knocked-out in a hut, no mother, no name
13
And filled up my heart with one and the same
14
That grand dark feeling of emptiness
15
And was it a friend that turned me loose?
16
Or was it a girl come to baste my goose?
17
Or was it my great god who laid on his finger
18
And started my clock anew?
19
Ah no, it was rain
20
Ah no, it was gunning
21
It was point break and buckle
22
And singing and cunning
23
That skinned me, re-skinned me
24
And started me running
25
And I never looked back from then on
26
And now I am learning bit by bit
27
About to make and model shit
28
The muddy bowl I live in it
29
And all the mucks that tire us
30
And I'm feared if I don't have
31
A piglet, lamb, or little calf
32
I'll chop my humanness in half
33
And be as worm or virus
34
But kids I've had and they are sung
35
Upon folks ears my babes are hung
36
Rhythmically they live among
37
And grow but don't get old
38
Not in a box, not in a void
39
Not if their voice is never heard
40
Nor if no one repeats a word
41
But if their tune is told
42
Then we can age and fall away
43
To meet again some golden day
44
And fill it in our happy way
45
In starlight and in gold
