My Back Pages |
| Crimson flames tied through my ears |
| Rolling 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-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 pathway led by confusion boats |
| Mutiny from stern to bow |
| 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 |
