Manchild Lyrics - The Creatures

Manchild
They would seek high, they would seek lowcalling their manchild as the trouble did flowThere's always somebody to watch over meI'm never alone, I wish they'd leave me beNever aloneI'm never alone...I'm just a boy, not long for this worldI'm called Nelsito and I'm thirteen years oldfor nearly two decades this vendetta has ragedThere are no men -- I'm the last in the chainLast in the chainI'm 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, I'll soon travel in woodI try to be goodManchild in woodI wait for manhoodI'm the manchild.
