Grand Dark Feeling Of Emptiness

Well I felt like I was born today
 So I took it upon me to go away
 To gather my thoughts and go away
 Where I could (be used by) somebody
 Now over the hill, like always you know
 Were billy and frankie and henry and joe
 And they beat and broke me hard and slow
 To prove I was nobody
 And no one I was and so I remained
 Knocked-out in a hut, no mother, no name
 And filled up my heart with one and the same
 That grand dark feeling of emptiness
 And was it a friend that turned me loose
 Or was it a girl come to baste my goose
 Or was it my great god who laid on his finger
 And started my clock anew
 Ah no, it was rain
 Ah no, it was gunning
 It was point break and buckle
 And singing and cunning
 That skinned me, re-skinned me
 And started me running
 And I never looked back from then on
 And now I am learning bit by bit
 About to make and model shit
 The muddy bowl I live in it
 And all the mucks that tire us
 And im afeared if I dont have
 A piglet, lamb, or little calf
 Ill chop my humanness in half
 And be as worm or virus
 But kids ive had and they are sung
 Upon folks ears my babes are hung
 Rhythmically they live among
 And grow but dont get old
 Not in a box, not in a void
 Not if their voice is never heard
 Nor if no one repeats a word
 But if their tune is told
 Then we can age and fall away
 To meet again some golden day
 And fill it in our happy way
 In starlight and in gold
