Hey Child (Live From The Other Side)
[Verse 1]
Hey, child, you've got blood
On your doorstep
Long eyes, cheap talk
Strange voices
How long can you hold
Down your resistance?
Hey, child, you don't know
No, baby, you don't know your own existence

[Pre-Chorus]
And in the ruins of the nights that we spent
Writin' numbers on our arms
But when you wake up to find there's nothin' left
Don't you know your future's almost gone? Oh

[Chorus]
Hey, child, you better get it right on you
Hey, child, you got so many better things to do

[Verse 2]
Hey, child, you've got dogs
Dogs that guard your weakness
But call in all your wounded men
Oh, baby, don't you know that they're uselеss?
[Pre-Chorus]
Ah, the lamp is burnin' low, the streets are cold and wеt
You're just a face without a name
But when you wake up and find there's nothin' left
Oh, honey, baby, ain't it a shame?

[Chorus]
Hey, child, you better get it right on you
Hey, child, you got so many better things to do

[Outro]
Hey, child, no, you ain't found it yet
Hey, child, you better quit placin' all those bets
Hey, child, no, no, no, no, no
Hey, child, get it right on you
Hey, child (Woah)
Hey, child (Hey, child, hey)
Hey, child (Hey, ooh)
Hey, child
Hey, child
Hey, child
No, you ain't found it yet
