about

written by bob dylan

lyrics

crimson flames tied though my ears
rolled high with 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

oh 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 whit
spoke from my skull i dreamed
romantic facts of musketeers
foundationed deep somehow

oh 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 moment that i preach
my pathway led by confusion boats
mutiny from stern to bow

oh 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

oh but i was so much older then
i'm younger than that now
