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
