david bowie – growin’ up lyrics

david bowie
pin ups (1990)
growin’ up
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)
