growin' up - tori amos lyrics

[verse 1]
well, 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
i strolled all alone through a fallout zone
came out with my soul untouched

[chorus 1]
i hid in the clouded wrath of the crowd, but when they said, “sit down,” i stood up
ooh, ooh, growin’ up

[verse 2]
well, 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 bluеs
with my gear set stubborn on standing
i broke all thе rules, strafed my old high school
never once gave thought to landing

[chorus 2]
i hid in the clouded warmth of the crowd, but when they said, “come down,” i threw up
ooh, ooh, growin’ up
[verse 3]
i took month*long vacations on the stratosphere
you know, it’s really hard to hold your breath
i lost everything i ever loved or feared
i was the cosmic kid in full*costume dress
my feet they finally took root in the earth
found 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

[chorus 3]
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
ooh, ooh, growin’ up
