R.E.M. - Green : The Wrong Child

[bluemoon24]

R.E.M.



Green



The Wrong Child





I've watched the children come and go



A late long march into spring



I sit and watch those children



Jump in the tall grass



Leap the sprinkler



Walk in the ground



Bicycle clothespin spokes



The sound the smell of swingset hands







I will try to sing a happy song



I'll try and make a happy game to play







Come play with me I whispered to my new found friend



Tell me what it's like to go outside



I've never been



Tell me what it's like to just go outside



I've never been



And I never will







I'm not supposed to be like this



I'm not supposed to be like this



But it's okay







Hey those kids are looking at me



I told my friend myself



Those kids are looking at me



They're laughing and they're running over here



They're laughing and they're running over here



What do I do?



What can I do?



What should I do?



What do I say?



What can I say?







I said I'm not supposed to be like this



Let's try to find a happy game to play



Let's try to find a happy game to play



I'm not supposed to be like this



But it's okay...okay
