There's towers everywhere
They're all eight stories high
It's just a mile wide
It's just a mile wide
And on the riverfront
All I see is trash
It's just a mile high
It's just a mile high
On the riverfront
I walk along the side
Waiting for the sun
To fall down and die
There's jokers everywhere
They're making me so sad
They rest their drunken eyes
They rest their drunken eyes
And on the riverfront
All I see is me
I'm so very tired
I'm oh-so sad and tired
And I am on the riverfront
Watching people swim
Waiting for the night
To come and make my vision dim
I think that I know
That nothing here is ever gonna go
I know that I think
That no ship here is ever gonna sink
And I am on the riverfront
Hoping for the best
I can feel my heart
Beat on last time inside my chest
