Growin' Up Lyrics

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 untouchedI hid in the clouded wrath of the crowd but when they

said "Sit down" I stood upOoh-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 upOoh-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 upOoh-ooh growin' upOoh-ooh growin' up
