متن موزیک

There I was one night

Just a normal guy

And then, there I was the next night

Goddamn, I was still just a normal guy

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

Well, I was open to pain and crossed by the rain

I walked on a crooked crutch

I strolled all alone through a fallout zone

And came out with my soul untouched

Hid in the clouded wrath of the crowd

When they said, "Sit down", I stood up

Ooh-ooh, growin' up

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

Well, I pushed B-52, bombed 'em with the blues

My gear set stubborn on standing

I broke all the rules, strafed my old high school

Never once gave thought to landing

Hid in the clouded wrath of the crowd

When they said, "Come down", I threw up

Ooh-ooh, growin' up

Big man, assist me, please

I think, I ain't sure but I think

My mother and father and my sister, they're here again tonight

Hey, you guys out there, you're over there?

For six years they they've been following me around California

Trying to get me to come back home

Hey ma, give it up, ha

Give me a break

They're still here

I don't know, they're over there somewhere

But, you know, they're still tryin' to get me to get back to college

Every time I come in the house

"You know, it's not too late, you can still go back to college", they tell me

I say, "Alright, alright, ma"

But it's funny 'cause when I was growin' up

There were two things that were unpopular in my house

One was me and the other one, was my guitar

And my father, he used to sit in the kitchen

And we had this grate, like the heat's supposed to come through

Except it wasn't hooked up to any, any like heating ducts

It was just open, straight down to the kitchen

And there was a gas stove right underneath it

And when I used to start playin', he used to turn on the gas jets and try to smoke me out of my room

I'd end up out on the, out on the roof or somethin', you know

And he used to always refer to this guitar, you know, never Fender guitar, Gibson guitar

It was always the "Goddamn guitar", you know

Every, stuck his head into my door that's all I'd hear

Turn down that goddamn guitar

He used to try to get me to be a lawyer

And it was funny 'cause I was in a motorcycle accident when I was 17

And like this cat, just, you know, ran head on into me

And then got out and yelled at me for ruinin' his Cadillac

And we had like a suit, a legal suit

And my father took me down to this lawyer in town

And he said "Oh, man, I got to defend this"

And I looked about, just about exactly the same way I look right now

And like I remember we were goin' to court, right, the day of the suit

Like I got, I'm like in the right, I just got hit, and my leg's messed up

And I remember my lawyer telling me "If I was the judge I'd find you guilty"

You know, I don't know for what, for bein', just for bein' there I guess, you know

But anyway, my father always said "You know you should be a lawyer

You know you get, get a little something for yourself", you know

And my mother, you know, she used to say "No, no, no, no

He should be, he should be a author. He should write books

You know you should, that's a good life, you could get a little somethin' for yourself

But like, what they didn't understand was, was that I wanted everything

And so, you guys, you, one of you guys wanted a lawyer and the other one wanted an author, well

Tonight, youse are both just gonna, have to settle for rock-n-roll

I took month long vacations in the stratosphere

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

My feet, they finally 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 clouded wrath of the crowd

When they said, "Sit down", I stood up

Ooh-ooh, growin' up

Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah, growin' up

Yeah

It was "bye, bye New Jersey", we were airborne
