Pearl Jam - Growin Up lyrics
[Pearl Jam - Growin Up lyrics]
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 with a crooked crutch
I strolled all alone
Through the fallout zone
Came out with my soul untouched
I stood in the crowd and read something loud
But when they said, "Put out, " I stood up
Ooh ooh, growin' up
The flag of piracy flew from my mast
My sails were set wing to wing
I had a jukebox graduate for a first mate
She couldn't sail but she sure could sing
And I pushed B-52
And bombed 'em with the blues
With my gear set stubborn on standing
I strolled all alone
Through the fallout zone
Never once gave thought to landing
I stood in the crowd and read something loud
But when they said, "Put down, " I put up
Ooh ooh, growin' up
I stood in the crowded warmth of the crowd
But when they said, "Sit down, " I threw up
Ooh ooh ooh ooh, growin' up
Ooh ooh, growin' up, yeah
