Down On The River By The Sugar Plant
Last night, I was listening to Mike Doughty's song Down On The River By The Sugar Plant and was deeply moved by the lyrics and the tune. I have posted the lyrics below. Read them, listen to the tune (or download it somewhere), and let me know what you think.
Down On The River By The Sugar Plant
All of the girls out with their hips asway
And I'm the loneliest man
They're selling incense and sunglasses on Orchard Street
Boatloads of bootleg Sean John
And I'll dream you up in this vast, dark bed
Believe I loved you for each hair upon the back of your neck, and I
Want to kiss you but I can't
Down on the river by the sugar plant
Earrin
A wraith with an angel's body
A demon with a smile of gold
You soulsucker
I won't become like you
A killer with the perfect weapons, crystal eyes, and a heart of coal
You soulsucker
I won't lose myself in you
Look how pretty she is when she falls down
Now there is no beauty in
Bleeding mascara
Lips are quivering like a withering rose
She's back again
What do you think love means?
It's much more than words and feelings sucking me dry
Is my marrow that sweet?
Your dead lovers have left a trail of broken hearts and misspent hopes
Sucking them dry
Does their marrow taste of sweetness, sweetness?
I hope you choke
