Growin' up lyrics by Bruce springsteen

Album: 18 tracks


Well, I stood stonelike at midnight
Suspended in my masquerade
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
Well, I strode 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...growin' up

Well, the flag of piracy blew 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 gears set stubborn on standing
We broke all the rules, I strafed my old high school
And 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 lost ev'rything I ever loved or feared
I was the cosmic kid in full costume dress
Well, my feet, they fin'ly took root in the earth
But I got me a nice little place in the stars
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
