Growin' Up, lyric by Bruce Springsteen

from the songs album 18 Tracks


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 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
