when i was young
i thought i was old
i sailed across the sea
to tokyo
i thought there must be more to this world
than we're being told

you can afford to be bold
when i was young
i sought
to win a young girl's heart
i chased the girl around a cherry tree
all i ended up winning
was a couple of skinned knees
