There's a conspiracy / to protect the young, so they'll be fearless, / it's why you travel - it's a way of trying / to let go, of lying. You don't sit / in a stiff chair and worry, you keep moving. / Postcards from the Alamo, the Alhambra. /... / You, fainting at the Buddhist caves. / Climbing with thousands on the Great Wall, /... / Having the time of your life, blistered and smiling. / The acid of your fear could eat the world.
