Well my kind's been around forever
And 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 choirboy for you
You got hair that recalls me of rivers
That run 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 you
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
But I watched you forget your belongings
And belongings you've got quite a few
I filled up your bags with my longings
And searched through this whole wide city for you
And we'll walk 'neath the streetlamps 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've 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 you
And it's down by the riverside
Wasting away
And it's down by the riverside
Feeding the clay
And it's down by the riverside
Wasting away
And it's down by the riverside
Feeding the clay
And it's down by the riverside
Wasting away
And it's down by the riverside
Feeding the clay
And it's down by the riverside
Wasting away
And it's down by the riverside
Feeding the clay
And it's down by the riverside
Wasting away
And I watch your frail features that you
Yeah down by the riverside
Feeding the clay
Cause mama you're nothing to you
Yeah down by the riverside
Wasting away
And I watch your frail features that you
Yeah down by the riverside
Feeding the clay
Cause mama you're nothing to you
Yeah mama you're nothing to you
Yeah mama you're nothing to you
