Lyrics

[00:08.44] I stood stone like at midnight suspended in my masquerade
[00:15.60] I combed my hair till it was just right and commanded the night brigade
[00:22.96] I was open to pain and crossed by the rain and I walked on a crooked crutch
[00:30.18] I strolled all alone through a fallout zone and came out with my soul untouched
[00:37.57] I hid in the clouded wrath of the crowd but when they said "Sit down" I stood up
[00:45.40] Ooh ooh growing up
[00:56.95] The flag of piracy flew from my mast, my sails were set wing to wing
[01:02.67] I had a jukebox graduate for first mate, she couldn't sail but she sure could sing,
[01:10.05] I pushed B-52 and bombed 'em with the blues with my gear set stubborn on standing
[01:17.45] I broke all the rules, strafed my old high school, never once gave thought to landing,
[01:24.76] I hid in the clouded wrath of the crowd but when they said "Come down" I threw up
[01:32.52] Ooh ooh growin' up
[02:08.15] I took month long vacations in the stratosphere and you know it's really hard to hold your breath.
[02:15.29] I swear I lost everything I ever loved or feared, I was the cosmic kid in full costume dress
[02:22.73] Well, my feet they finally took root in the earth but I got me a nice little place in the stars
[02:29.84] And I swear I found the key to the universe in the engine of an old parked car
[02:37.37] I hid in the mother breast of the crowd but when they said "Pull down" I pulled up
