My Heart Is A Wiffle Ball/Freedom Pole Lyrics

One honest day up on this freedom pole

Devils not done digging

He's speaking in tongues all along the pan handle

And this pining erosion is getting dust in

My eyes


And I'm drunk on your morsels

And so I look down the line

Your every twitch hand drum salute

Salutes mine...

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

Marie Claire describes this as “a poem that [Stewart] wrote on a road trip last year while escaping the limelight following her affair with Rupert Sanders.”

I like being able to hit on something, like, ‘There it is.’ I don’t want to sound so fucking utterly pretentious but after I write something, I go, ‘Holy fuck, that’s crazy,’ Stewart said of her poetry.

(Her imagery implies instead that he’s physically present as lover and driver.)

Stewart starred in the 2012 film of Kerouac’s “On the Road” and claims it’s her favorite book, so it must be a literary influence.
