Creatures - Manchild Lyrics
They would seek high, they would seek lowCalling their manchild as the trouble did flowTheres always somebody to watch over meIm never alone, I wish theyd leave me beNever aloneIm never alone...Im just a boy, not long for this worldIm called nelsito and Im thirteen years oldFor nearly two decades this vendetta has ragedThere are no men -- Im the last in the chainLast in the chainIm manchild manMarimba sing high, marimba sing low,Marimba sing high as the cemetery growsAll have been wept for husbands, brothers, grandsons,Grandfathers, nephews, cousins, uncles, fathers, and sonsI walk in boots too big for meThe women do cry as they watch over meI work at the altar, I try to be goodBut just like the others, Ill soon travel in woodI try to be goodManchild in woodI wait for manhoodIm the manchild.
