[00:09.235]When I was young and stupid my love
[00:13.138]Left to be a rock and roll star
[00:17.373]He told me please don't worry
[00:21.253]Wise little smile that spoke so safely
[00:25.274]He booked a one-way ticket
[00:29.388]Out west that's where they make it
[00:33.407]Six kids stuck in a bedsit
[00:37.443]To sunswept poolside riches
[00:49.612]He met a girl who wore Versace
[00:53.582]Pink feather coats and jumbo jewellery
[00:57.786]Gonna be a hoop phenomenon
[01:01.672]He's gonna be Hakeem Olajuwan
[01:05.788]He's got a gold Camaro
[01:09.824]He said over the payphone
[01:13.831]I try to keep my cool but
[01:17.907]My life turns in slow motion
[01:21.949]Bye bye baby blue
[01:25.023]I wish you could see the wicked truth
[01:28.947]Caught up in a rush it's killing you
[01:33.189]Screaming at the sun you blow into
[01:37.044]Curled up in a grip when we were us
[01:41.188]Fingers in a fist like you might run
[01:45.259]I settle for a ghost I never knew
[01:49.115]Super paradise I held on to
[01:52.553]But I settle for a ghost

When I was young and stupid my love
Left to be a rock and roll star
He told me please don't worry
Wise little smile that spoke so safely
He booked a one-way ticket
Out west that's where they make it
Six kids stuck in a bedsit
To sunswept poolside riches
He met a girl who wore Versace
Pink feather coats and jumbo jewellery
Gonna be a hoop phenomenon
He's gonna be Hakeem Olajuwan
He's got a gold Camaro
He said over the payphone
I try to keep my cool but
My life turns in slow motion
Bye bye baby blue
I wish you could see the wicked truth
Caught up in a rush it's killing you
Screaming at the sun you blow into
Curled up in a grip when we were us
Fingers in a fist like you might run
I settle for a ghost I never knew
Super paradise I held on to
But I settle for a ghost
