|
Don't lie, where have you been? |
|
Your teeth are red, your eyes are peppermints |
|
Sailing out to sea with your new best friend |
|
You don't like the way you live so you play pretend |
|
But isn't it time you act your age? |
|
You got a mortgage on your shoulders, got a babe on the way |
|
You shrug it off with a jackass grin |
|
Thinking as soon as you clean up you're gonna do it again, he says |
|
Whoa, oh, oh no |
|
I'm going to |
|
Pleasure Island, |
|
I don't wanna come home |
|
Whoa, oh, oh no |
|
The reverend says beware, he swears we're going to hell |
|
We may be donkeys but at least we have a tale to tell |
|
Don't start with the slap on the wrist |
|
I don't need no cease and desist |
|
I ain't fooling around and it ain't no sin |
|
So you best be stepping back those ugly ultimatums |
|
And never you mind what your old maid says |
|
There ain't nothing to complain so long as you're earning bread |
|
She's got a way of getting under your skin |
|
She plants a little seed of doubt, the guilt blossoms, she says |
|
Whoa, oh, oh no |
|
If you're going to |
|
Pleasure Island, you can never come home |
|
Whoa, oh, oh no |
|
The problem with you, kid, you can't say no |
|
You can't take a little nibble, you got to lick the bowl |
|
I pushed off, |
|
I'm sailing away and |
|
I ain't looking back |
|
Can't have you see me this way this just might be my greatest mistake |
|
Though when the future turns away for the present's presence |
|
My life was born of pleasure but it sure wasn't pleasant, he says |
|
Whoa, oh, oh no |
|
I'm going to |
|
Pleasure Island, |
|
I ain't never going home |
|
Whoa, oh, oh no |
|
I'll make an ass out of myself sooner than say, |
|
I'm wrongYeah, |
|
I'll soon be bucking around in the mud |
|
Whoa, oh, oh no |
|
I'm going to |
|
Pleasure Island, |
|
I ain't coming back home |
|
Whoa, oh, oh no |
|
And mama's stuffing her |
|
Bible, she swears we're going to hell |
|
And papa just chills, he wants to come here as well |
|
We may be donkeys but at least we have a tale to tell |
