My Back Pages (Alternate Version)

[00:08.07] Crimson flames tied through my ears
[00:11.39] Rollin' high and mighty traps
[00:16.10] Countless with fire on flaming roads
[00:19.20] Using ideas as my maps
[00:23.18] We'll meet on edges, soon, said I
[00:27.10] Proud 'neath heated brow
[00:30.50] Ah, but I was so much older then
[00:34.58] I'm younger than that now
[00:40.72] Half-wracked prejudice leaped forth
[00:44.45] Rip down all hate, I screamed
[00:48.57] Lies that life is black and white
[00:52.25] Spoke from my skull I dreamed
[00:56.29] Romantic facts of musketeers
[01:00.01] Foundationed deep, somehow
[01:03.83] Ah, but I was so much older then
[01:07.60] I'm younger than that now
[01:13.75] In a soldier's stance, I aimed my hand
[01:17.36] At the mongrel dogs who teach
[01:21.36] Fearing not that I'd become my enemy
[01:25.03] In the instant that I preach
[01:29.75] Sisters fled by confusion boats
[01:33.53] Mutiny from stern to bow
[01:36.99] Ah, but I was so much older then
[01:40.73] I'm younger than that now
[02:10.27] Ah, but I was so much older then
[02:14.00] I'm younger than that now
[02:20.54] My guard stood hard when abstract threats
[02:24.08] Too noble to neglect
[02:28.00] Deceived me into thinking
[02:31.65] I had something to protect
[02:35.71] Good and bad, I define these terms
[02:39.59] Quite clear, no doubt, somehow
[02:43.31] Ah, but I was so much older then
[02:47.18] I'm younger than that now
