Ruin Bound: Swan Song

Swan Song

Barefoot, grass skirts, Hawaiian setup
Ukulele, coconut bra, full get up
Lap steel twanging – have a string of flowers
Decoy spike the punch for the after hours

So long
Sing a swan song at the Palm Tree Prom
Long gone
Seeking martyrdom at the Palm Tree Prom

Uptight, draft fright – happy birthday!
Best years of his life always in a hurry
Carnation penguin, have her back by ten-thirty
Cleans up pretty good but his mind’s still dirty

So long
Sing a swan song at the Palm Tree Prom
Long gone
Seeking martyrdom at the Palm Tree Prom

Rent-a-perv thong check for your safety
Girl must be a whore if she ain’t dressed saintly
Mohawk debutant, give a smile for the birdie
Leaving tent-pole pompadours chewed up like beef jerky

So long
Sing a swan song at the Palm Tree Prom
Long gone
Seeking martyrdom at the Palm Tree Prom
