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 sun swept 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 Where I was from in NOLA No one left to be a rock and roll star He'd stay and treat his lady Give everything to his new baby I miss him, don't you blame me That boy went stone cold crazy Caught up in camera lust, he's Chasing that pappy pipe dreams I know you don't but I I know you don't, but I still try My thunder shook him down My thunder came and shook him down That girl is gone but I That girl is gone, but I still try I think it's over now The bullet hit but maybe not I feel so fucking numb It hits my head and I feel numb My body's looking wrong My body's looking wrong My body's looking wrong 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
