Creatures - Manchild lyrics

rate me

They would seek high, they would seek low <br />

Calling their manchild as the trouble did flow <br />

There's always somebody to watch over me <br />

I'm never alone, I wish they'd leave me be <br />

<br />

Never alone <br />

I'm never alone... <br />

<br />

I'm just a boy, not long for this world <br />

I'm called Nelsito and I'm thirteen years old <br />

For nearly two decades this vendetta has raged <br />

There are no men -- I'm the last in the chain <br />

<br />

Last in the chain <br />

I'm manchild man <br />

<br />

Marimba sing high, marimba sing low, <br />

Marimba sing high as the cemetery grows <br />

All have been wept for husbands, brothers, grandsons, <br />

Grandfathers, nephews, cousins, uncles, fathers, and sons <br />

<br />

I walk in boots too big for me <br />

The women do cry as they watch over me <br />

I work at the altar, I try to be good <br />

But just like the others, I'll soon travel in wood <br />

<br />

I try to be good <br />

Manchild in wood <br />

I wait for manhood <br />

I'm the manchild.
