[00:01.933]
[00:31.390]When I was young and stupid
[00:34.050]My love left to be a rock and roll star
[00:39.330]He told me "Please don't worry"
[00:42.450]Wise little smile that spoke so safely
[00:46.810]He booked a one-way ticket
[00:50.610]Out west that's where they make it
[00:54.340]Six kids stuck in a bedsit
[00:58.030]To sunswept poolside riches
[01:08.820]He met a girl who wore Versace
[01:12.550]Pink feather coats and jumbo jewelry
[01:16.720]Gonna be a hoop phenomenon
[01:19.990]He's gonna be Hakeem Olajuwon
[01:24.400]He's got a gold Camaro
[01:28.000]He said over the payphone
[01:31.870]I try to keep my cool but
[01:35.550]My life turns in slow motion
[01:39.060]Bye-bye baby blue
[01:41.610]I wish you could see the wicked truth
[01:45.290]Caught up in a rush it's killing you
[01:49.080]Screaming at the sun you blow into
[01:52.830]Curled up in a grip when we were us
[01:56.520]Fingers in a fist like you might run
[02:00.170]I settle for a ghost I never knew
[02:04.070]Super paradise I held on to
[02:07.480]But I settle for a ghost

Screaming at the sun you blow into
Curled up in a grip when we were us
Fingers in a fist like you might run
