Growin' Up

歌詞

Well I stood stone like 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 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-ohh ooh hoo 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 the 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, no 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 And I swear I lost everything I ever loved or feared I was the cosmic kid in full costume dress Well my feet finally took root in the earth But I got me a nice little place in the stars And I swear I found the key to the universe In the engine of an old parked car I hid in the mother breast of the crowd But when they said move down I moved up Ooh ooh ooh, don't you know that I'm growin' up Ooh ooh ooh, I can't help it that I'm growin' up (ah)
