Title: My Back Pages Artist: Byrds Composers: DYLAN ROBERT ======================================
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 wrecked prejudice leaped forth "Rip down all hate" I screamed Lies that life is black and white spoke from my skull I dreamed Romantic flanks of musketeers Foundation 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 Sisters 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 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
