All of the girls out with their hips a sway   But I'm the loneliest man   They're selling incense and sunglasses on Orchard Street   Boatloads of bootleg Sean John      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   Down on the river by the sugar plant      Earrings weighing down the lobe and   Nose a lovely slope and the mouth turned down   Shoulders pale and beautiful and   Angle of the throat and your sweet sad stare      All of the waves that crash upon the shore   Fruitlessly shushing the world   I pledge allegiance to my displacement   My flag of doubt is unfurled      I'll dream you up on a vast, dark coast   Believe I see you walking toward me   Arms outstretched like a Ghost   And I want to kiss you but I can't   Down on the river by the sugar plant   Down on the river by the sugar plant      Down on the river by the sugar plant   Down on the river by the sugar plant   Down on the river by the sugar plant   Down on the river by the sugar plant
