Lyrics:

I stood stone-like at midnight suspended in my masquerade**lf**I combed my hair till it was just right and commanded the night brigade**lf**I was open to pain and crossed by the rain and I walked on a crooked crutch**lf**I strolled all alone through a fallout zone and came out with my soul untouched**lf**I hid in the clouded wrath of the crowd but when they said ''Sit down'' I stood up.**lf**Ooh-ooh growin'' up**lf****lf**The flag of piracy flew from my mast, my sails were set wing to wing**lf**I had a jukebox graduate for first mate, she couldn''t sail but she sure could sing,**lf**I pushed B-52 and bombed ''em with the blues with my gear set stubborn on standing**lf**I broke all the rules, strafed my old high school, never once gave thought to landing,**lf**I hid in the clouded wrath of the crowd but when they said ''Come down'' I threw up**lf**Ooh-ooh growin'' up**lf****lf**I took month-long vacations in the stratosphere and you know it''s really hard to hold your breath.**lf**I swear I lost everything I ever loved or feared, I was the cosmic kid in full costume dress**lf**Well, my feet they finally took root in the earth but I got me a nice little place in the stars**lf**And I swear I found the key to the universe in the engine of an old parked car**lf**I hid in the mother breast of the crowd but when they said ''Pull down'' I pulled up**lf**Ooh-ooh growin'' up. Ooh-ooh growin'' up
