Lyrics

Walkin' along by the la 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, wanna die

I'd jump right in the drink, but theres no water
I'd jump right in the and sink away from here
Poor river, empty river
I'm feeling just like you
I'm feeling just like you

Walkin' by the la river
Steping on broken glass, kicking cans
Shes telling me I don't even know her
I guess there's some things I dont understand

I'd love to float away like old tom sawyer
I'd love to run away and be huck finn
Poor river, la river
I'm feeling just like you

Walkin' along by the la river
Reading graffiti and throwing stones
She's looking for someone to deliver
She's doesn't give a damn that I'm alone

I'd dive right in and drown, but there's no water
My head may hit the ground, but im still here
Poor river, la river
I'm feeling just like you
