\nI stood stone-like at midnight suspended in my masquerade
\nI combed my hair till it was just right and commanded the night brigade
\nI was open to pain and crossed by the rain and I walked on a crooked crutch
\nI strolled all alone through a fallout zone and come out with my soul untouched
\nI hid in the clouded wrath of the crowd but when they said “Sit down,” I stood up.
\nOoh… growin\u2019 up
\nThe flag of piracy flew from my mast, my sails were set wing to wing
\nI had a jukebox graduate for first mate, she couldn\u2019t sail but she sure could sing,
\nI pushed B-52 and bombed \u2019em with the blues with my gear set stubborn on standing
\nI broke all the rules, strafed my old high school, never once gave thought to landing,
\nI hid in the clouded warmth of the crowd but when they said, “Come down,” I threw up,
\nOoh… growin\u2019 up.
\nI took month-long vacations in the stratosphere and you know it\u2019s really hard to hold your breath.
\nI swear I lost everything I ever loved or feared, I was the cosmic kid in full costume dress,
\nWell, my feet they finally took root in the earth but I got me a nice little place in the stars
\nAnd I swear I found the key to the universe in the engine of an old parked car
\nI hid in the mother breast of the crowd but when they said, “Pull down,” I pulled up
\nOoh… growin\u2019 up.
\nOoh… growin\u2019 up<\/p>\n
