Manchild (Letra)

Curso de Violão - Fórmula Violão

They would seek high, they would seek low
Calling their manchild as the trouble did flow
There’s always somebody to watch over me
I’m never alone, i wish they’d leave me be

Never alone
I’m never alone…

I’m just a boy, not long for this world
I’m called nelsito and i’m thirteen years old
For nearly two decades this vendetta has raged
There are no men — i’m the last in the chain

Last in the chain
I’m manchild man

Marimba sing high, marimba sing low,
Marimba sing high as the cemetery grows
All have been wept for husbands, brothers, grandsons,
Grandfathers, nephews, cousins, uncles, fathers, and sons

I walk in boots too big for me
The women do cry as they watch over me
I work at the altar, i try to be good
But just like the others, i’ll soon travel in wood

I try to be good
Manchild in wood
I wait for manhood
I’m the manchild.

And every time you crave for me i’m, here
And anything you hunger for i’ll share
And i will be quietly standing by
While slowly i am dying inside

Hold me in your arms
And let me be the one who can feel
Like i am a child in love

Every time i talk to you you’re down
And every time you need a laugh i’m around
And when you forget i’m here i’m not
It isn’t really me that you forgot

Hold me in your arms
And let me be the one who can feel
Like i am a child in love

Whisper now
And tell me how you’ll watch me
And tell me somehow i’m gonna be alright

Ok, you’re on your own, it’s late
Your girlfriend is on another date with the hero in your dream
Turn around, ask yourself. so, you think you’re gonna win this time manchild?

Is it the pain of the drinking
Or the sunday sinking feeling
The car never seems to work
When it’s late your girlfriend’s on a date
And the hero with her in your dream
In your sleep it seemed to like you
Turn around and ask yourself
Turn around ask yourself

Chorus:
Manchild, will you ever win
Manchild, look at the state you’re in

Could you go undercover
And sell your brand new lover (could you)
Be someone else for a night
Maybe someone else will love you
You sell your soul for a tacky song
Like the one you hear on the radio
Turn around ask yourself
Turn around and ask yourself

Chorus:
Manchild, will you ever win
Manchild, look at the state you’re in
Manchild, he will make you cry
Manchild, manchild, manchild

From monday down to friday
You’re working on another man’s car
Or is it in the factory?
It doesn’t matter where you are

Just turn around and ask yourself is this communication
Accentuate the positive and give some illustration
See manchild, you’re no one, you turn the microphone on
Control communication when i’m kickin’ it and so on
To the point that i need, the air that i breathe
Into an audience that’s waiting and ecstatic to receive
For the meantime another mean rhyme, i keep on sayin’ it
I know what the time is the crowd will keep playing it
Through the speaker boxes loud’s my diagnosis
‘cause i believe in miracles and words in heavy doses.
Enough r-e-s-p-e and c-t
Respect yourself express no stress the mike is easy
Just believe that all you need is the air that you breathe.
Turn around ask yourself

Chorus:
Manchild, will you ever win
Manchild, look at the state you’re in
Manchild, he will make you cry
Manchild, manchild, manchild
He’s the apple of your eye

Once bitten twice shy, why don’t you bite me again
Just take it in the right and go tell your friend
Are you ready for the words i turn the microphone on
A figure of speech to reach you at the back and so on
The style i’m stimulating dance floors
Raise your body temperature now and
This demands for power in the amp you know louds my diagnosis
‘cause i believe in miracles and words in heavy doses.
