Cursive

Don't lienWhere have you been?nYour teeth are rednYour eyes are peppermintsnSailing out to sea with your new best friendnYou don't like the way you livenSo's you play pretendnnBut isn't it time you act your age?nYou got a mortgage on your shouldersnGot a babe on the waynYou shrug it out with your jackass grinnThinkin' as soon as you clean upnYou're gonna do it againnnHe saysnI'm going to pleasure islandnI don't wanna come homenThe reverend says bewarenHe swears we're goin' to hellnWe may be donkeysnBut at least we have a tale to tellnnDon't start with a slap on the wristnI don't need no cease and assistnI ain't foolin' 'roundnAnd it ain't no sinnSo's you best be stepping back those ugly ultimatumsnnAnd never you mind what your old maid saysnThere ain't nothin' to complainnSo long's you're earning breadnShe's got a way of getting under your skinnShe plants a little seed of doubtnThe guilt blossomsnnShe saysnIf you're going to pleasure islandnYou can never come homenThe problem with your kid: you can't say nonYou can't take a little nibblenYou got to lick the bonennI pushed offnI'm sailin' awaynAnd I ain't lookin' backnCan't have you seein' me this waynThis just might be my greatest mistakennThrowin' the future tense awaynFor the present's presencenMy life was but a pleasurenBut it sure was pleasantnnHe saysnI'm going to pleasure islandnI ain't never going homenI'll make an ass out of myselfnSooner than say I'm wrongnYeah I'd sooner be fuckin' around in the mudnnI'm going to pleasure islandnI ain't comin' back homenMama's thumpin' her biblenShe swears we're going to hellnAnd papa's just jealousnHe wants to come here as wellnWe may be donkeysnBut at least we have a tale to tell
