Drunken Lobster Man

big blue Atlantic sky

gold sparkle like the sun

smelt a nip of rye

never thought you'd be this fun.

 

baby sea of curl

burnt tobacco cloud above your bed

you could see on your own, I wanted to be your girl

but still there you are residing in my head.

 

Mr. Perfection where you been

hiding your pretty little self away from me

only seen across the lawn with your puppy dog grin.

Why was it so hard for you to see

my love, I have fallen and yours I'd win

they all said "only you to pay an end fee"

 

I put ALL my trust into only you

countless times of breaking down

can't say how many tears I have drained for you

for some reason you,yourself is never able to make me frown.

 

but I didn't care, nor will I ever

love the accent of a true east coaster

swear you'll keep me forever, and let go of me never

so let's take our chance on a love roller coaster.

 

and you know all of this

yet you willingly send yourself North over again

it always seems like you make my life a hit-and-miss

but I can't stop loving you, just wait for me until then.

 

so go ahead, mesmerize me, take my breath of air

even without tights, you are my superman

in my world you were the only one who seemed to care

I will always love you, my Drunken Lobster Man

 

And this to you I swear.
