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 glass

 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
