During the first two lines in verses, play same as intro.
Well, I stood stonelike at midnight suspended in my masquerade
And I combed my hair till it was just right and commanded the night brigade
F C G C F C G C
I was open to pain and crossed by the rain and I walked on a crooked crutch
F C G C F G C F C F
I strolled all alone through a fallout zone and came out with my soul untouched
G F Am
I hid in the clouded wrath of the crowd but when they said "Sit down" I stood up
F G F C G C F C G C
Ooh-ooh growin' up
Follow the same pattern from verse one.
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 `em with the blues with my gear set stubborn on standing
I broke all the rules strafed my old high school never once gave thought to
landing
I hid in the clouded wrath of the crowd but when they said “Come down” I threw up
Ooh-ooh growin' up
I took month-long vacations in the stratosphere and 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
Well 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 but when they said “Sit down” I stood up
Ooh-ooh growin' up
End on C
