The drifter and the comely young women who gleamed with charisma walk passed the rabble-rousers on their way to tie the knot The rabble-rousers cheer, tossing out superlatives, praising their oncoming matrimony The young woman is chomping at the bit to finally settle down The drifter is on the same boat, he can't keep living the life of a rolling stone He's gonna give the married life a whirl She has her dress in a brown paper bag and he has on the shiniest cuff links this side of the Pacific Some say they just portrayed a happy couple But behind closed doors they had hidden intentions But I'd wager that they truly loved each other   But my my opinion is superfluous, they know in their hearts what they're doing is right So they got that going for them They make their way to the ****** who is set to marry the two Until they are ambushed by pinheads with the gift of gab and know it all's who know nothing  but still try to talk out of their ***** even though their heads are already wedged tightly up them already Egregious questions and tauntings of habitual bullshitters What was God thinking during their creation? Good thing the worst of them all has been tarred and feather and ran out of town on a rail, or so I've been told They finally reach their destination and say their vows right off their cuffs Say I do, kiss with just me in attendance And leave all these sheep all these irritants behind And embark on their new life together

A Not-So-Secret Elopement
The drifter and the comely young women who gleamed with charisma walk passed the rabble-rousers on their way to tie the knot The rabble-rousers cheer, tossing out superlatives, praising their oncoming matrimony The young woman is chomping at the bit to finally settle down The drifter is on the same boat, he can't keep living the life of a rolling stone He's gonna give the married life a whirl She has her dress in a brown paper bag and he has on the shiniest cuff links this side of the Pacific Some say they just portrayed a happy couple But behind closed doors they had hidden intentions But I'd wager that they truly loved each other   But my my opinion is superfluous, they know in their hearts what they're doing is right So they got that going for them They make their way to the ****** who is set to marry the two Until they are ambushed by pinheads with the gift of gab and know it all's who know nothing  but still try to talk out of their ***** even though their heads are already wedged tightly up them already Egregious questions and tauntings of habitual bullshitters What was God thinking during their creation? Good thing the worst of them all has been tarred and feather and ran out of town on a rail, or so I've been told They finally reach their destination and say their vows right off their cuffs Say I do, kiss with just me in attendance And leave all these sheep all these irritants behind And embark on their new life together
