R.e.m. - The Wrong Child lyrics

(berry/buck/mills/stipe) I've watched the children come and go A late long march into spring I sit and watch those children Jump in the tall gra** 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
