Well, I stood stonelike at midnight suspended in my masquerade
C Csus C C(2) C Csus C C(2) C

And I combed my hair till it was just right and commanded the night brigade
Csus C C(2) C Csus C C(2)

I was open to pain and crossed by the rain and I walked on a crooked crutch
C F C G C F C

I strolled all alone through a fallout zone and came out with my soul untouched
C F C G C F C G C

I hid in the clouded wrath of the crowd but when they said "Sit down" I stood up
F G Am

Ooh-ooh growin' up
F G7 F C

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 up
Ooh-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 up
Ooh-ooh growin' up
Ooh-ooh growin' up
