How Soon Is Now? lyrics

I am the son and the heir
Of a shyness that is criminally vulgar
I'm son and heir
Of nothing in particular
 
You, shut your mouth!
How can you say
I go about 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
 
When you say it's gonna happen Now
Well, when exactly do you mean
See, I've already waited too long
And all my hope is gone
 
You, shut your mouth!
How can you say
I go about things the wrong way
I am Human and I need to be Loved
Just like everybody else does

The homophonic reading as "I am the sun and air" is likely intentional.
