[Verse 1]
I was on the run again
Had a little money to spend
And everybody knows, everybody knows
How that story can end
Maybe in a smokey glow
Twilight at the bungalow
Everybody knows, everybody knows
How that story can go

[Chorus]
I was young
For a very long time
I was dumb
But the pleasure was mine

[Chorus]
I was young
For a very long time
I was dumb
But the pleasure was mine

[Verse 2]
Run like a son of a gun
Fratch good by everyone
Daddy's gotta go, where he doesn't know
Bet it'll be in the sun
Give me a gun that shoots (yeah)
Some Mellotron fruits (yeah)
'Cause everybody knows, everybody knows
I'm a tree with roots
[Chorus]
I was young
For a very long time
I was dumb
But the pleasure was mine

[Chorus]
I was young
For a very long time
I was dumb
But the pleasure was mine

[Outro]
Hey, you there
Let your mind go
Let it go
Oh
