David Bowie - Growin' Up lyrics

Your rating:

Well 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

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-ohh ooh hoo 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 the 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, no



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

And I swear I lost everything I ever loved or feared 

I was the cosmic kid in full costume dress

Well my feet 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 move down I moved up

Ooh ooh ooh, don't you know that I'm growin' up

Ooh ooh ooh, I can't help it that I'm growin' up (ah)
