See this ancient riverbed
and see where all
the follies are led
Down by the water
and down by the
old main drag
I was just some
towhead teen
feeling around
for fingers to
get in between
Down by the water
and down by the
old main drag
The season
rubs me wrong
The summer
swells anon
So knock me down
tear me up
but I would bear it all
broken just to
fill my cup
Down by the water
and down by
the old main drag
Sweet descend
this rabble round
the pretty little patter
of a seaport town
Rolling in the water
and rolling down
the old main drag
All dolled up in gabardine
the last flashing lee to
appear nineteen
Queen of the water
and queen of
the old main drag
The season
rubs me wrong
The summer
swells anon
So knock me down
tear me up
but I would bear it all
broken just to
fill my cup
Down by the water
and down by
the old main drag
The season
rubs me wrong
The summer
swells anon
So knock me down
tear me up
but I would bear it all
broken just to
fill my cup
Down by the water
and down by
the old main drag
Down by the water
and down by
the old main drag
Down by the water
and down by
the old main drag
