Crimson flames tied through my ears   Rolling high and mighty traps   Pounced with fire on flamin' roads   Usin' ideas as my maps   We'll meet on edges soon said I   Proud 'neath heated brow      Ah, but I was so much older than   I'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   Foundation deep somehow      Ah, but I was so much older than   I'm younger than that now      Girls faces formed the forward path   From phony jealousy   To memorizin' politics   Of ancient history   Flung down by corpse evangelists   Unthought of, though, somehow      Ah, but I was so much older than   I'm younger than that now      Ah, but I was so much older than   I'm younger than that now      My guard stood hard   When abstract threats too noble to neglect   Deceived me into thinkin'   I had somethin' to protect   Good and bad, I define these terms   Quite clear, no doubt, somehow      Ah, but I was so much older than   I'm younger than that now      I'm younger than that now   I'm younger than that now   I'm younger than that now   I'm younger than that now
