oh, those were the nights:
i had to sing to escape/defeat them,
still louder, in fever
i crossed upon your hearth, i lean upon your shoulder
a liar, and never the bolder
well you are the fool now. you have always been the fool.
lay aside your rice-paddy dreams
oh, liar, you will swallow your tongue,
your eyes will cease to open
you will live in my shadow all your days,
all your days, i will haunt you
oh, youth, they will offer you their backs
they will offer you their money
they would offer their pride, they would offer their very eyes
if only they could have your youth
