R.E.M - The Wrong Child

Текст песни The Wrong Child

(Berry/Buck/Mills/Stipe)


I′ve watched the children come and go
A late long march into spring
I sit and watch those children
Jump in the tall grass
Leap the sprinkler
Walk in the ground
Bicycle clothespin spokes
The sound the smell of swingset hands

I will try to sing a happy song
I′ll try and make a happy game to play
Come play with me I whispered to my new found friend
Tell me what it′s like to go outside
I′ve never been
Tell me what it′s like to just go outside
I′ve never been
And I never will

I′m not supposed to be like this
I′m not supposed to be like this
But it′s okay

Hey, those kids are looking at me
I told my friend myself
Those kids are looking at me
They′re laughing and they′re running over here
They′re laughing and they′re running over here
What do I do?
What can I do?
What should I do?
What do I say?
