i can forget my loneliness by chewing gum stumble into several arms and strip away the day's decay sadness is a way of life for bitter me but don't you quote me the prophets 'cause i know it's wrong but it's not for long if i had eyes like river would you take some notice of me? if i had lips like river would you talk to me? now i walk the streets of london and i look around at the people rushing by where do they go? do they even know? i hear they staple sequins to their sooty souls just to tempt this acolyte from his real world his only world if i had eyes like river would you take some notice of me? if I had lips like river would you talk to me now? talk to me now talk to me now talk to me now
