Growin' Up
4
Well i stood stone like at midnight
5
Suspended in my masquerade
6
I combed my hair till it was just right
7
And commanded the night brigade
8
I was open to pain and crossed by the rain
9
And i walked on a crooked crutch
10
I strolled all alone through a fallout zone
11
Came out with my soul untouched
12
I hid in the clouded wrath of the crowd
13
But when they said 'sit down' i stood up
14
Ooh-ohh ooh hoo growin' up
15
The flag of piracy flew from my mast
16
My sails were set wing to wing
17
I had a jukebox graduate for first mate
18
She couldn't sail but she sure could sing
19
I pushed the b-52 and bombed em with the blues
20
With my gear set stubborn on standing
21
I broke all the rules, strafed my old high school
22
Never once gave thought to landing, no
23
I hid in the clouded wrath of the crowd
24
But when they said come down i threw up
25
Ooh-ooh growin' up
26
I took month-long vacations in the stratosphere
27
And you know it's really hard to hold your breath
28
And i swear i lost everything i ever loved or feared
29
I was the cosmic kid in full costume dress
30
Well my feet finally took root in the earth
31
But i got me a nice little place in the stars
32
And i swear i found the key to the universe
33
In the engine of an old parked car
34
I hid in the mother breast of the crowd
35
But when they said move down i moved up
36
Ooh ooh ooh, don't you know that i'm growin' up
37
Ooh ooh ooh, i can't help it that i'm growin' up (ah)
