[length: 03:05]
[00:06.70]Well I stood stone-like at midnight
[00:10.66]Suspended in my masquerade
[00:14.37]And I combed my hair ’til it was just right
[00:17.71]And commanded the night brigade
[00:21.58]I was open to pain
[00:23.35]And crossed by the rain
[00:25.31]And I walked on a crooked crutch
[00:28.83]I strolled all alone
[00:30.41]Through a fallout zone
[00:32.67]Came out with my soul untouched
[00:36.19]I hid in the clouded wrath of the crowd
[00:39.79]When they said, “Sit down,” I stood up
[00:43.99]Ooh-ooh, growin’ up
[00:54.02]And the flag of piracy flew from my mast
[00:57.73]My sails were set wing to wing
[01:01.38]I had a jukebox graduate for first mate
[01:05.05]She couldn’t sail but she sure could sing
[01:08.64]And I pushed B-52
[01:10.50]And bombed ’em with the blues
[01:12.49]With my gear set stubborn on standing
[01:16.12]I broke all the rules
[01:17.59]Strafed my old high school
[01:19.55]Never once gave thought to landing
[01:23.32]I hid in the clouded warmth of the crowd
[01:26.61]But when they said, “Come down,” I threw up
[01:31.22]Ooh-ooh, growin’ up
[01:38.99]
[02:06.79]I took month long vacations in the stratosphere
[02:10.37]And you know it’s really hard to hold your breath
[02:13.75]Swear I lost everything I ever loved or feared
[02:17.64]I was a cosmic kid in full costume dress
[02:21.21]Well, my feet they finally took root in the earth
[02:24.76]But I got me a nice little place in the stars
[02:28.50]And I swear I found the key to the universe
[02:32.19]In the engine of an old parked car
[02:36.06]I hid in the mother breast of the crowd
[02:39.28]When they said, “Pull down,” I pulled up
[02:43.94]Ooh-ooh, growin’ up
[02:51.08]Ooh-ooh, growin’ up
