Sucker's Prayer |
I was not ready for the road |
I was so discontent to wear that heavy load |
So I got down on my knees |
Made a sucker’s prayer |
Like Rimbaud to Baudelaire before |
And when nobody did respond |
I took my glasses off and went to find a pond |
Stuffing rocks into the pockets of my pants |
And when I waded in |
Those currents carried them away |
I wanna love somebody but I don’t know how |
I’ve been so long lonely and it’s getting me down |
I wanna throw my body in the river and drown |
I wanna love somebody but I don’t know how |
So if you’re lost along the way |
And if you’re thinking that will always be the case |
Won’t you listen to my plea? |
Don’t make a sucker’s prayer |
Just go and leave it there, away |
I wanna love somebody but I don’t know how |
I’ve been so long lonely and it’s getting me down |
I wanna throw my body in the river and drown |
I wanna love somebody but I don’t know how |
I wanna love somebody but I don’t know how |
