i abstain and they participate and twenty years down the road it's all the same 'cause we'll both have houses, cars, and kids, and wives though we bring up different things when reminiscing the good times
it is worth it to stay so celibate from all the suitors of my attentions though i know they will make a cuckold of me at least i can call it a party though i'll end up crude and defenseless though at least it's not friendless, right?
they learn to dance so well and i'm paralyzed conserved to force a dirge that i swear, "it isn't mine" though i know it's for safety's keeping i'm still safely alone "aw come on, dad! that wisteria don't look so bad on their bones"
'cause in honesty what really bothers me has nothing to do with their best intentions but more with secret desires all set afire by the spark of inhibition's funeral pyres and muscles best exercised without fences like my strength's somehow endless, right?
daddy please, daddy please… let me rumble in the wagon, get raked up with the leaves daddy please, daddy please just let me pick the party daddy please, daddy please i wanna grow cold with the bushes, stand still like the trees i don't need your love, i just need them to love me
