River

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
