School Days

In Delaware when I was younger I would live the life obscene In the spring I had great hunger I was Brando, I was Dean Blaspheming, booted, blue-jeaned baby boy Oh, how I made them turn their heads The townie, Brownie girls they jumped for joy And begged me bless them in their beds In Delaware when I was younger I would row upon the lake In the spring I had great hunger I was Keats, I was Blake My pimple pencil pain I'd bring To frogs who sat entranced My drift dream ditties I would sing The water-strider danced In Delaware when I was younger They thought St Andrew had sufficed But in the spring I had great hunger I was Buddha, I was Christ You wicked wise men, where's your wonder? You Pharisees one day will pay See my lightning, hear my thunder I am Truth, I know the Way In Delaware when I was younger
