Lyrics

[Verse 1]
For 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 down hurts
The wait child, neon light, late night nights hurt
[Verse 2]
Oh, gonna hurt some
Child, child
Gonna hurt some
Whoa, my baby
[Verse 3]
Will 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 child, can't pay child hurts
[Verse 4]
Oh, wanna hurt some
Child
Gonna hurt some
Whoa, my baby
[Verse 5]
Child, child
Step into the street light
Messed up child, lonely boy tonight
Kick the wall, turn the street and back again
Oh boy, you've been forgotten
[Verse 6]
Child, child
Stare into the street light
Messed up child, lonely boy tonight
The wall, turn the street and back again
Oh boy, you've been forgotten
[Verse 7]
The wait child, pacing child, 'round this town, it hurt
The wait child, bus stop child, late come child hurts
The wait child, pool hall child, pin top child hurts
The wait child, magic child, work it on out now, work it
[Verse 8]
Oh, gonna hurt some
Child, child, child, child, child
Hurt some
Whoa, my baby
Hey
