[Verse 1]
Well my kind's been around forever
And I claim to be one of the few
But the lost cause of words walks away with my nerves
Cause I'm gay as a choir boy for you
[Verse 2]
You 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 that I'm nothing to you
[Verse 3]
And I followed you into the party
That no one invited me to
But alone I made love to my forty
And played make-believe it was you
[Verse 4]
But 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
[Verse 5]
And we'll walk beneath the street lamps forever
You'll say you remind me of you
It's so damn cliche that it's clever
It's so f*cking false you think that it's true
[Verse 6]
Cause I heard that you forgot that you were 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 you
[Refrain]
And it's down by the riverside (wasting away)
And it's down by the riverside (beating the clay)
