I stood stonelike at midnight suspended in my masquerade |
|
I combed my hair till it was just right and commanded the night brigade |
|
I was open to pain and crossed by the rain and i walked on a crooked crutch |
|
I strolled all alone through a fallout zone and came out with my soul untouched |
|
I hid in the clouded wrath of the crowd but when they said `sit down' i stood up |
|
Ooh-ooh growin' up |
|
The flag of piracy flew from my mast my sails were set wing to wing |
|
I had a jukebox graduate for first mate she couldn't sail but she sure could sing |
|
I pushed b-52 and bombed `em with the blues with my gear set stubborn on standing |
|
I broke all the rules strafed my old high school never once gave thought to landing |
|
I hid in the clouded wrath of the crowd but when they said `come down' i threw up |
|
Ooh-ooh growin' up |
|
I took month-long vacations in the stratosphere and you know it's really hard to hold your breath |
|
I swear i lost everything i ever loved or feared i was the cosmic kid |
|
Well my feet they finally took root in the earth but i got me a nice little place in the stars |
|
I swear i found the key to the universe in the engine of an old parked car |
|
I hid in the clouded wrath of the crowd but when they said`sit down'i stood up |
|
Ooh-ooh growin' up |
|
Ooh-ooh growin' up |
