Intro: See this ancient river bed, See where all the follies led Down by the water and down by the old main drag. I was just some tow-head teen Feelin' 'round for fingers to get in-between Down by the water and down by the old main drag. Bridge: 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. BREAK: Sweet decsend 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 lash-flashing Leda of pier nineteen, Queen of the water and queen of the old main drag. Bridge: 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 Break Bridge: The season rubs me wrong The summer swells on and on 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 (3x)
