HEY GROUND CONTROL
I’VE SLIPPED DOWN INTO THE UNDERTOW
COMPOSTING INTO EARTH HEART AND SOUL
I AM BLACK AS DIRT YET WHITE AS SNOW
SO NOW YOU KNOW
UNDERSTUDIED FOR THE LEADING ROLE
AND MY HOLY SELF WAS LEFT HALF CLOAKED
RICH AS HELL AND STILL I’M LEFT FLAT BROKE
TRUTH BE TOLD
I UNDERESTIMATE WORDS I SPOKE
LOST MY VOICE I COULD NOT BE CONSOLED
LOST MY LEGS AND NOW MY WINGS UNFOLD
I’M STILL YOUNG AND I AM OLD
I’M STILL YOUNG AND I AM OLD
