Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well, I stood stone-like at midnight
Suspended in my masquerade
And 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've strolled all alone through a fallout zone
Came out with my soul untouched
[Chorus]
I hid in the clouded wrath of the crowd
When they said sit down, I stood up
Ooh-ooh, growin' up
[Verse 2]
And the flag of piracy flew from my mast
My sails were set wing to wing
I had a jukebox graduate for a first mate
She couldn't sail but she sure could sing
And 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
[Chorus]
I hid in the clouded warmth of the crowd
When they said come down, I threw up
Ooh-ooh, growin' up
[Bridge]
Work it back now
[Verse 3]
I took month-long vacations in the stratosphere
And you know it's really hard to hold your breath
Swear I lost everything I ever loved or feared
I was a cosmic kid in full costume dress
Well, my feet they 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
[Chorus]
I hid in the mother breast of the crowd
When they said, pull down, I pulled up
Ooh-ooh, growin' up
Ooh-ooh, growin' up
