Check out the lyrics...

VERSE 1
1, 2, 3, 4
IF YOU WANNA BE TONGUE TIED
YOU BETTER KNOW WHERE I HIDE
UNDER THE BLEACHERS
WITH PLEASURE SEEKERS
I GOT YOUR BABY BLUE EYES WIDE
DON’T TELL ME WHAT TO DO
GO ROW YOUR OWN CANOE
LIKE A DRUMMER BOY I RAT TAT TAT
THROUGH ALL YOUR FEEDBACK
I’M AT THE LAUNDROMAT
SINGING FULL BLAST

CHORUS
NEVER GROWING UP
CUZ I DO WHAT I FEEL LIKE
NEVER GROWING UP
I’LL BE YOUNG TIL THE DAY I DIE
I GUESS I’M JUST A WILD CHILD

VERSE 2
THE TAXIS NEVER STOP
I GUESS WE’LL HAVE TO WALK
I’M ALWAYS ACTING UP WHEN THE SUN’S DOWN
THEY GOT ME SCREAMING OUT

BRIDGE
EVER SINCE I WAS A KID I BEEN GETTING IN TROUBLE
EVER SINCE I WAS A KID I BEEN GETTING MY HUSTLE ON

POEM TEXT

Galway Kinnell reads "Wait"

I gave the brilliant Ben Folds a copy of 'Black Hole Blues and Other Songs from Outer Space' by astrophysicist Janna Levin (http://eepurl.com/bYXz6z), highlighted a passage for him, and he set it to song.

The real magic begins at 5:03, but it's marvelous to witness the orchestral arrangement improvisation building up to it, so I've kept that in. 

Recorded at the Beacon Theater in New York City, May 4, 2016.
