Child Then 가사

I could run before I learned to walk Tore the tongues out of my shoes So they wouldn't talk I was a child then Seven years at a private school Only taught me how to play the fool I was a child then But I would do the same again My counsel is my own to keep And yes my conscience lets me sleep My sisters would behave like trees Whispering of mysteries That were beyond my ken Midnight out by crater lake Wondering which pill to take I was a child then But I would do the same again Take another backward leap And yes my conscience lets me sleep If I'd known then what I know now I'd have done it anyhow I never thought at forty-five I'd still be alive, be alive Sold my soul for the highest bid Feel no remorse for what I did I was a child then But I would do the same again My counsel is my own to keep And yes my conscience lets me sleep
