Bruce Springsteen Lyrics
Growin' Up
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 come out with my soul
untouched
I hid in the clouded wrath of the crowd but when they said "Sit down,"
I
stood up.
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 warmth of the crowd but when they said, "Come
down," I
threw up,
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
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... growin' up. Ooh... growin' up
