[Verse 1]
Winnie Pooh lying with his legs in the air
Impotent, saying, "Those were the days
I was young and hungered for flesh like a bear"
An outgrown toy on a turning display out of sight
Yeah, out of sight
An overgrown boy watching his day turn very, very slowly to night
Yeah

[Verse 2]
On the first day of spring, they danced in the clover
Collapsing with a grin, saying, "Thank God it's over"
Staring, red-cheeked, to the white cliffs of Dover in the sun
And it's begun

[Chorus]
Saying, "Take me, Avalon, I'm young"
Take me, Avalon, I'm young
Avalon, I'm young

[Verse 3]
Drunk stupid on moonlight, I wanna be quarantined
A twentieth-century sprite stalking the moors with greasy jeans
I don't wanna see your Lindy Hop
All across these blood-slicked eaves
We're here to finger God
With dirty dreams and they're done dirt cheap, yeah
[Bridge]
Here's looking at Euclid
I really thought I was being funny
I was steaming, I was Cupid
Life was Cher when life was sunny

[Chorus]
Better take me, Avalon, 'cause I'm young
Take me, Avalon, I'm young
Said, take me, Avalon, I'm young
