lyrics

Downriver from town
Cast the fish hook down
A bottle cap screws off
Glug glug without a scoff

Pull up a fat boy carp
Like an angel playing the harp
Two hobos share a hug
Take a celebratory slug

The proper word is unhoused
Or that’s what I espoused
City river Sustenance fishing
The perfect combo, nothing is missing

How will they cook it
Where will they go
Will they have sides?
Or open a bottle of bordeaux

Upriver two tweens cry laugh
I guessed it was some gaffe
But it was only a crow
Whatever it did I don’t know

See a crow, flash a smile
They’ll remember for quite a while
They can solve complex tasks
They won’t recognize you in mask

Under the bridge there’s an open trunk
Maybe someone preparing to dunk?
Nope, it’s a friend of mine
Buying discount beer outside

The grocery store is right there
By the river taxes are laissez faire

How will they cook it
Where will they go
Will they have sides?
Or open a bottle of bordeaux

Just one year
along the river
The amount of things I’ve seen
This is only a sliver
