[00:34.380]When I was young and stupid
[00:36.480]My love left to be a rock and roll star
[00:41.640]He told me" Pleasedon't worry"
[00:45.390]Wise little smile that spoke so safely
[00:50.640]He booked a one- way ticket
[00:52.050]Out westthat's where they make it
[00:56.580]Six kids stuck in a bedsit
[00:59.430]To sunswept poolside riches
[01:11.160]He met a girl who wore Versace
[01:14.880]Pink feather coats and jumbo jewelry
[01:18.390]Gonna be a hoop phenomenon
[01:22.680]He's gonna be Hakeem Olajuwon
[01:26.610]He's got a gold Camaro
[01:34.140]He said over the payphone
[01:34.650]I try to keep my cool but
[01:37.980]My life turns in slow motion
[01:39.540]Bye- bye baby blue
[01:44.070]I wish you could see the wicked truth
[01:47.790]Caught up in a rushit's killing you
[01:51.270]Screaming at the sun you blow into
[01:53.970]Curled up in a grip when we were us
[01:58.950]Fingers in a fist like you might run
[02:02.580]I settle for a ghost I never knew
[02:06.420]Super paradise I held on to
[02:09.990]But I settle for a ghost
[02:19.350]Where I was from in NOLA
[02:22.830]No one left to be a rock and roll star
[02:26.700]He'd stay and treat his lady
[02:29.910]Give everything to his new baby
[02:34.560]I miss himdon't you blame me
[02:38.340]That boy went stone cold crazy
[02:41.610]Caught up in camera lust
[02:46.020]He's chasing that pappy pipe dream
[03:19.530]I know youdon't but I-
[03:22.830]I know youdon't but I still try
[03:26.610]My thunder shook him down
[03:32.220]My thunder came and shook him down
[03:34.140]That girl is gone but I-
[03:38.220]That girl is gone but I still try
[03:41.670]I thinkit's over now
[03:43.470]The bullet hit but maybe not
[03:49.260]I feel so f** king numb
[03:53.520]It hits my head and I feel numb
[03:56.580]Mybody's looking wrong
[04:00.390]Mybody's looking wrong
[04:04.080]Mybody's looking wrong
[04:07.350]Bye- bye baby blue
[04:10.290]I wish you could see the wicked truth
[04:14.040]Caught up in a rushit's killing you
[04:17.700]Screaming at the sun you blow into
[04:21.720]Curled up in a grip when we were us
[04:25.260]Fingers in a fist like you might run
[04:28.830]I settle for a ghost I never knew
[04:32.700]Super paradise I held on to
[04:36.060]But I settle for a ghost
