Cuckold

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
