Growin' Up

I stood stone-like at midnight

Caught in my masquerade

Combed my hair 'til it was just right

I commanded the night brigade

I was open to pain, and I crossed by the rain

And I walked on a crooked crutch

And I walked all alone through a danger zone

Came out with my soul untouched

I stood in the clouded wrath of the crowd

When they said, "Sit down," I stood up

Ooh, ooh, growing up

Ooh, ooh, growing up

I took a month-long vacation in the stratosphere

It's really hard to hold your breath

And I lost everything that I ever have loved

A cosmic kid in full dress

Well, my feet they finally took root in the earth

I got me a nice littlе place in the stars

And I found the kеy to the universe

In the engine of an old parked car

I stood in the clouded wrath of the crowd

When they said, "Sit down," I stood up

Ooh, ooh, growing up

Ooh, ooh, growing up

I stood in the clouded wrath of the crowd

When they said, "Sit down," I stood up

Ooh, ooh, growing up

Ooh, ooh, growing up

Ooh, ooh, growing up
