The Wait Pretenders

Said the wait child, magic child, work it on out, now work it
The wait child, pinball child, pool hall child hurts
The wait child, pacing child, forth back now hurts
The wait child, neon light, late night lights hurt

Oh, gonna hurt some, child, child
Gonna hurt some, whoa, my baby

Said the wait child, bruised ball child, pride-slapped child hurts
The wait child, crest-felled child, tear-eyed child hurts
The wait child, bus stop child, late come child hurts
The wait child, platform walk, idle talk hurts

Oh, gonna hurt some, child, child
Gonna hurt some, whoa, my baby

I said child, child staring into the streetlight
Messed up child, lonely boy tonight
Kick the wall, turn the street and back again
Oh boy, you've been forgotten

Child, child staring into the streetlight
Messed up child, lonely boy tonight
Kick the wall, turn the street and back again
Oh boy, you've been forgotten
