Take Me Avalon I'm Young

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

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

Saying, "Take me, Avalon, I'm young"

Take me, Avalon, I'm young

Avalon, I'm young

Drunk stupid on moonlight, I wanna be quarantined

A 20th-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

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

Better take me, Avalon, 'cause I'm young

Take me, Avalon, I'm young

Said, take me, Avalon, I'm young
