how soon is now?
I am the son And the heir Of a shyness that is criminally vulgar I am the son and heir Of nothing in particular  You shut your mouth How can you say I go about things the wrong way? I am human and I need to be loved Just like everybody else does  I am the son And the heir Of a shyness that is criminally vulgar I am the son and heir Of nothing in particular  You shut your mouth How can you say I go about things the wrong way? I am human and I need to be loved Just like everybody else does  There's a club if you'd like to go You could meet somebody who really loves you So you go and you stand on your own And you leave on your own And you go home and you cry And you want to die  When you say it's gonna happen "now" Well when exactly do you mean? See I've already waited too long And all my hope is gone  You shut your mouth How can you say I go about things the wrong way? I am human and I need to be loved Just like everybody else does
