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, I'm younger than that now Half-racked prejudice is 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 I think I'm goin' back To the places that I loved in my youth I think I'm returning to Those days when I was young enough to know the truth Now there are no games To help me pass the time No more electric trains No more hills to climb A little bit of courage is all we lack So catch me if you can, I'm goin' back 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 preached My pathway led by confusion boats Mutiny from stern to bow Ah, but I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now A little bit of courage is all we lack So catch me if you can, I'm goin' back
