Lyrics

I was not ready for the road I was so discontent to wear that heavy load And so I got down on my knees I 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? You'll make a sucker's prayer Just go and leave it that-a-way 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
