Crimson flames tied through my ears |
|
Rollin' high and mighty traps |
|
Pounced with fire on flaming roads |
|
Using ideas as my maps |
|
"we'll meet on edges, soon," said i |
|
Proud 'neath heated brow. |
|
Ah, but i was so much older then, |
|
'm younger than that now. |
|
Half-wracked prejudice leaped forth |
|
"rip down all hate," i screamed |
|
Lies that life is black and white |
|
Spoke from my skull. i dreamed |
|
Romantic facts of musketeers |
|
Foundationed deep, somehow. |
|
Ah, but i was so much older then, |
|
I'm younger than that now. |
|
In a soldier's stance, i aimed my hand |
|
At the mongrel dogs who teach |
|
Fearing not that i'd become my enemy |
|
In the instant that i preach |
|
My existence led by confusion boats |
|
Mutiny from stern to bow. |
|
Ah, but i was so much older then, |
|
I'm younger than that now. |
|
Ah, but i was so much older then, |
|
I'm younger than that now. |
|
Yes, my guard stood hard when abstract threats |
|
Too noble to neglect |
|
Deceived me into thinking |
|
I had something to protect |
|
Good and bad, i define these terms |
|
Quite clear, no doubt, somehow. |
|
Ah, but i was so much older then, |
|
I'm younger than that now. |
|
Ah, but i was so much older then, |
|
I'm younger than that now. |
|
Ah, but i was so much older then, |
|
my back pages |
|
I'm younger than that now. |
