Lyrics

How Soon Is Now?

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I am the son

And the heir

Of a shyness that is criminally vulgar

Am son 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 shynees that criminally vulgar

Am son heir

Of nothing 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
