Of Montreal - I Was Never Young Lyrics

I was never young, even as a child.
Said, I was never young; I've always felt beguiled.
Oh, I just never smiled, but you have a glow, a glow from an inner sense I'll never know.

'Cause I was never young, even as a boy.
No, I was never young; kindness seemed no ploy to temper or annoy.
But you, you have a mind full of wonderment I'll never find 'cause I was never young.

I was never young

Ever since I was a kid, I've been a brooding basket case.
Ever since I was a kid, I've been a brooding basket case.
Ever since I was a kid, I've been a brooding basket case.
