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 'bout 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 'bout 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
I am the son
and the heir
of a shyness
that is criminally vulgar
I am the son and heir
when you say it's gonna happen now
exactly when d'u mean?
see i've already waited too long
and all my hope is gone
