Lyrics Sucker's Prayer - The Decemberists
I
was
not
ready
for
the
road
I
was
so
discontent
to
wear
that
heavy
load
And
so
I
got
down
on
my
knees
I
made
a
sucker's
prayer
A
grim
bode
of
Baudelaire
before
And
when
nobody
did
respond
I
took
my
glasses
off
and
went
to
find
a
pond
Stuffing
rocks
into
the
pockets
of
my
pants
And
when
I
waded
in
Those
currents
carried
them
away
I
wanna
love
somebody
but
I
don't
know
how
I've
been
so
long
lonely
and
it's
getting
me
down
I
wanna
throw
my
body
in
the
river
and
drown
I
wanna
love
somebody
but
I
don't
know
how
So
if
you're
lost
along
the
way
And
if
you're
thinking
that
will
always
be
the
case
Won't
you
listen
to
my
plea?
You'll
make
a
sucker's
prayer
Just
go
and
leave
it
that-a-way
I
wanna
love
somebody
but
I
don't
know
how
I've
been
so
long
lonely
and
it's
getting
me
down
I
wanna
throw
my
body
in
the
river
and
drown
I
wanna
love
somebody
but
I
don't
know
how
I
wanna
love
somebody
but
I
don't
know
how
