the byrds - my back pages lyrics

Loading...

crimson flames tied through my ears
rollin’ high and mighty trapped
countless fire and 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 flights 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 i’d become my enemy
in the instant that i preached
existence fled 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.

my guard stood hard when abstract threats
too n-ble 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.
