|
All of the girls out with their hips a sway |
|
But I'm the loneliest man |
|
They're selling incense and sunglasses on Orchard Street |
|
Boatloads of bootleg Sean John |
|
I'll dream you up in this vast, dark bed |
|
Believe I loved you for each hair upon the back of your neck |
|
And I want to kiss you but I can't |
|
Down on the river by the sugar plant |
|
Down on the river by the sugar plant |
|
Earrings weighing down the lobe and |
|
Nose a lovely slope and the mouth turned down |
|
Shoulders pale and beautiful and |
|
Angle of the throat and your sweet sad stare |
|
All of the waves that crash upon the shore |
|
Fruitlessly shushing the world |
|
I pledge allegiance to my displacement |
|
My flag of doubt is unfurled |
|
I'll dream you up on a vast, dark coast |
|
Believe I see you walking toward me |
|
Arms outstretched like a Ghost |
|
And I want to kiss you but I can't |
|
Down on the river by the sugar plant |
|
Down on the river by the sugar plant |
|
Down on the river by the sugar plant |
|
Down on the river by the sugar plant |
|
Down on the river by the sugar plant |
|
Down on the river by the sugar plant |
