Harold Bloom

When you wake, levitate

Ideas pouring out

Then you set out to make

Something great

But nothing comes out

Are you quick on your feet?

It's time to dig deep

So don't lift your heroes up so high

That you can't touch

Don't let your innocence go dry

Before the flood

Guardians at the gate let you in

Into their mansions

I'm the acid head homeless man

Who demands an explanation

Can you be wise if you never leave the room?

There will always be another Harold Bloom, Harold Bloom

To criticize your every move

So don't lift your heroes up so high

That you can't touch

Don't let your innocence go dry

Before the flood

And don't lift your heroes up so high

That you can't touch

Don't let your innocence go dry

Before the flood
