Sucker's Prayer Lyrics - 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
