| Growing Up – Growing Up – Growing Up | |
| 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, across by the rain | |
| And I walked on a crooked crutch | |
| I strolled all alone through a fall-out zone | |
| And came out with my soul untouched | |
| And I hid in the clouded wrath of the crowd | |
| And when they said "sit down", I stood up | |
| Oooh – Growing Up – Oooh – Growing Up | |
| And the flag of piracy, it flew from my mast | |
| And my sails were set wing to wing | |
| I had a juke box graduate for first mate | |
| She couldn't sail, but she sure could sing | |
| And I pushed B52 when I 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 a thought to landing | |
| And I hid in the clouded wrath of the crowd | |
| And when they said "come down", I threw up | |
| Oooh – Growing Up – Oooh – Growing Up | |
| I took month long vacations in the stratosphere | |
| You know it's really hard to hold your breath | |
| Swear I lost everything I ever loved or feared | |
| I was the cosmic kid in full costume dress | |
| My feet finally took root in the earth | |
| I got me a nice little place in the stars | |
| Yeah, 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 | |
| And when they said "pull down", I pulled up | |
| Oooh – Growing Up – Oooh – Growing Up | |
| You know it was cool just growing up | |
| Yeah we were cool growing up |
| Growing Up Growing Up Growing Up | |
| Well I stood stonelike 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, across 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 | |
| And I hid in the clouded wrath of the crowd | |
| And when they said " sit down", I stood up | |
| Oooh Growing Up Oooh Growing Up | |
| And the flag of piracy, it flew from my mast | |
| And my sails were set wing to wing | |
