Well my kind's been around forever
Yet I claim to be one of the few
And the lost cause of words walks away with my nerves
'Cause I'm gay as a choir boy for youYou got hair that recalls me of rivers
Runs softly while you dream of you
But your heart is so cold that it shivers
'Cause all that I know is I'm nothing to youAnd I followed you into the party
That no one invited me to
But alone I made love to my 40
And played make-believe it was youBut I watched you forget your belongings
And belongings you've got quite a few
I filled up your bag with my longings
And searched through this whole, wide city for you
And we'll walk 'neath the street lamps forever
You'll say you remind me of you
It's so damn cliché that it's clever
It's so fucking false, you think that it's true'Cause I heard that you got you a lover
And lovers you've got one or two
But you can't tell one from the other
Now, mama, now you're nothing to youAnd it's down by the riverside (wasting away)
And it's down by the riverside (feet in the clay)
And it's down by the riverside (wasting away)
And it's down by the riverside (feet in the clay)And it's down by the riverside, wasting away
And it's down by the riverside, feet in the clay
And it's down by the riverside, wasting away
And it's down by the riverside, feet in the clay
And it's down by the riverside, wasting away
And I'll watch you throw features at you
Yeah, down by the riverside, feet in the clay
'Cause mama, you're nothing to youAnd it's down by the riverside, wasting away
And I'll watch you throw features at you
Yeah, down by the riverside, feet in the clay
'Cause mama, you're nothing to youYeah mama, you're nothing to you
Yeah mama, you're nothing to you
