Verse 1
Repeat Riff 1
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 and came out with my soul untouched
I hid in the clouded wrath of the crowd but when they said "sit down" I stood up
F G7 Riff 1 (or play 2x | F C | G C |)
Ooh-ooh growin' up
Verse 2
Repeat Riff 1
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
F G7 Riff 1 (or play 2x | F C | G C |)
Ooh-ooh growin' up
| 3x | 2x |
[Piano Solo] | F C | G C | Am | F | G | Riff 1
Verse 3
Repeat Riff 1
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 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
I hid in the mother breast of the crowd but when they said "Pull down" I pulled up
Ooh-ooh growin' up
F G7 F C | G C | F C G | G
Ooh-ooh growin' up
