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, superparadise I held on to but I settle for a ghost
When I was from n.o.l.a 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 l*** 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 f****** 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, superparadise I held on to but I settle for a ghost
