text: I stood stonelike 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
  Ooh-ooh growin up
  The flag of piracy flew from my mast my sails were set wing to wing
  I had a jukebox graduate for first mate she couldnt 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 its 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
