Lyrics
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 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 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
