growin' up - martyn joseph lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
i stood stone*like 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
and i strolled all alone through a fallout zone
and come 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 i bombed them with the blues
with my gear sеt stubborn on standin’
well, i broke all the rulеs, strafed my old high school
i never once gave thought to landin’

[chorus]
i stood in the clouded warmth of the crowd
but when they said, “come down,” i threw up
ooh, ooh, growin’ up
[guitar solo]

[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
