WHAT’S THE MATTER, KID?

what's th matter, hey hey

what's wrong w you, kid
you all quiet n dark
we thought ya had it goin'
the light n the spark
but now ya got us worried
ya don't talk much
please say somethin’
don ’t keep all this pain
in yr heart
what's wrong w you, kid
you all quiet n dark
we thought ya had it goin'
the light n the spark

short solo

booze
can’t fix it
yr madness
is real
throw ya off a cliff
come back to me
don't back away
give me hug, baby
like a shakespeare play

short solo

yr tin man's tears
turn t rust
ya stink like a bastard
y’ain't takin' care of yrself
the friends yv deserted
we sittin' at home
wonderin' how how we can help
turn yr motor back on
ring that silver bell
what's wrong w you, kid
you all quiet n dark
we thought ya had it goin'
the light n the spark

short solo

what's th matter, hey hey
