When you gonna grow up? Momma always said Are you gonna walk around with a silly grin And a bubble on your head? A spaceship landed by the mall There was a big parade, everybody got laid And they burned all the books and the Chevrolets And they grow so fast they never crawl If you get tired of satellite fliers And fame has let you down Under the wire and over the moon I'm alive When you gonna grow up? Momma always said But I just want to walk around with a dollar bill And a coat that never sheds A spaceship landed on the water It was a holiday for the underpaid Everybody got a haircut and lemonade And they smiled just like it was their father If you get tired of satellite fliers And fame has let you down Under the wire and over the moon I'm alive I'm alive Play me a (tune) One for my radio One for my love that came and went So many stories Hey man I'm sorry This is just a song to pay the rent To pay the rent If you get tired of satellite fliers And fame has let you down Under the wire and over the moon I'm alive When you gonna grow up? When you gonna grow up? When you gonna grow up? When you gonna grow up?
