Eels - L. A. River lyrics

Walking along by the l.a. river This river's such a joke And so am i I don't know why i should believe her I don't care what she says I wanna die I'd jump right in the drink But there's no water I'd jump right in and sink Away from here Poor river Empty river I'm feeling just like you Walking along by the l.a. river Stepping on broken gla** And kicking cans She's telling me i don't even know her I guess there's some things i won't understand I'd love to float away like old tom sawyer I'd love to run away and be huck finn Poor river Empty river I'm feeling just like you Walking along by the l.a. river Reading graffiti And throwing stones She's looking for someone to deliver She doesn't give a damn if i'm alone I'd dive right in and drown But there's no water My head may hit the ground But still I'm here Poor river L.a. river I'm feeling just like you
