Well I felt like I was born today<br /> So I took it upon me to go away<br /> To gather my thoughts and go away<br /> Where I could<br /> (Be used by)<br /> SomebodyNow over the hill, like always you know<br /> Were Billy and Frankie and Henry and Joe<br /> And they beat and broke me hard and slow<br /> To prove I was nobodyAnd no one I was and so I remained<br /> Knocked-out in a hut, no mother, no name<br /> And filled up my heart with one and the same<br /> That grand dark feeling of emptinessAnd was it a friend that turned me loose?<br /> Or was it a girl come to baste my goose?<br /> Or was it my great god who laid on his finger<br /> And started my clock anew?Ah no, it was rain<br /> Ah no, it was gunning<br /> It was point break and buckle<br /> And singing and cunning<br /> That skinned me, re-skinned me<br /> And started me runningAnd I never looked back from then on<br /> And now I am learning bit by bit<br /> About to make and model shit<br /> The muddy bowl I live in itAnd all the mucks that tire us<br /> And I'm feared if I don't have<br /> A piglet, lamb, or little calf<br /> I'll chop my humanness in half<br /> And be as worm or virusBut kids I've had and they are sung<br /> Upon folks ears my babes are hung<br /> Rhythmically they live among<br /> And grow but don't get old<br /> Not in a box, not in a voidNot if their voice is never heard<br /> Nor if no one repeats a word<br /> But if their tune is told<br /> Then we can age and fall away<br /> To meet again some golden day<br /> And fill it in our happy way<br /> In starlight and in gold<br /> <br /> Songwriters<br /> Oldham Joseph WillPublished by<br /> ROYAL STABLE MUSICLyrics provided by TANCODEhttps://damnlyrics.com/" readonly=""/>
