tori amos - growing up lyrics

[verse 1]
well, i stood stone+like at midnight
suspended in my masquerade
and i combed my hair ’til 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

[chorus]
i hid in the clouded wrath of the crowd, but when they said, “sit down,” i stood up
ooh, ooh, growin’ up

[verse 2]
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 them with the blues
with my gеar set stubborn on standing
i broke all the rulеs, strafed my old high school
never once gave thought to landing

[chorus]
i hid in the clouded warmth of the crowd, but when they said, “come down,” i threw up
ooh, ooh, growin’ up
work it back now
[verse 3]
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

[chorus]
i hid in the mother breast of the crowd, but when they said, “pull down,” i pulled up
ooh, ooh, growin’ up
ooh, ooh, growin’ up
