EELS LYRICS - L. A. River

"L. A. River"



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
