lyrics

stranger of the springtime
be my only mirror
nothing in reverse
I'm walking cold and clear
in the springtime I was a young man too afraid to die

three-foot tall and rising
whirlwind in his hair
when gravity defies him
I try to be right there
I don't want to be an old man too afraid to die

madman improvising
screaming simple songs
javelina manners
louder than a bomb
and I don't want to be an old man too afraid to die

half my face and half of hers
and double both our moods
stubborn boy I love you too much
hope you got the news

see my true reflection
boy in front of me
each impatient action
curiosity
and I grow old
I wear my trousers rolled until the day I die
