Down on the River by the Sugar Plant

My flag of doubt is unfurled
I'll dream you up in this vast, dark bed
Earrings weighing down the lobe and
Down on the river by the sugar plant
Down on the river by the sugar plant
Believe I see you walking toward me
All of the waves that crash upon the shore
Angle of the throat and your sweet sad stare

Shoulders pale and beautiful and
Believe I loved you for each hair upon the back of your neck
Boatloads of bootleg Sean John

And I want to kiss you but I can't
I pledge allegiance to my displacement
Down on the river by the sugar plant

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
Arms outstretched like a Ghost
Down on the river by the sugar plant
Down on the river by the sugar plant
I'll dream you up on a vast, dark coast

Fruitlessly shushing the world
Nose a lovely slope and the mouth turned down
They're selling incense and sunglasses on Orchard Street
