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
