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

They grow so fast they never crawl





If you get tired of satellite flyers

And fame has let you down

Under the wire and over the moon

I'm around





When you gonna grow up

Momma always said

But i just wanna 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





Play me a groove one for my radio one for my love

That came and went

So many stories, hey man i'm sorry.

Joe, this is just a song to pay the rent





...when you gonna grow up
