Never Said It'd Be a Good Song

This is a verse/that tells a tale/of three minus one
We splashed around/while he worked hard/'neath vacation sun.
We worked a bit/and played some more/I drank all day long
Hummed a tune/wrote some words/and out popped this song.

(chorus):
I'd spend my last $12 on Grape Nuts Flakes and beer
Excuse but, I feel the store should be very near
Get your shit and then get out you need to stay here
Charge the card,, made some room-Nut Flakes and BEER!

The pirates come/to Mermaid Rock/each and 'ery morn
They heard a tale/from 16 boats/there might be some porn
I thought I'd spend/half of my day/perched on the lake
I did not know/I'd have to work/as soon as day break

Beneath the house/atop the roof/scrape 'way the stain
While they ran off/and left the isle/to go in a plane
I had heard/but could not find/where they stashed a club
And everywhere/I hung my hat/was bit by a bug


(chorus):
I'd spend my last $12 on Grape Nuts Flakes and beer
Excuse but, I feel the store should be very near
Get your shit and then get out you need to stay here
Shouldn't've had that final bowl of Nut Flakes and BEER

Now how do we/get home from here/do you know the way
Holy shit!/That sure was dumb/we should have him stay.

One from three
Three minus me
I couldn't see.
Binoculars
Just made it worse.
It's hammer time
The choice was mine
I saw the sign
But let it go.
How could I know
Unless I looked.
But I was hooked
On getting cooked
Up on a roof
Alone, aloof
And so the week went by.

(chorus):
I spent my last 12 minutes on cedar and copper.
Pipes not the kind that you use to hop her.
Too much fun spent prim and proper.
Had to go and I couldn't stop her.

Three to two
Three minus you
What can I do?
New morning missed
The being kissed
By hatted face.
Learn not to chase
And find my space
Among the stars,
Ignoring scars
From distance gained
By friendship strained.
Nothing explained
By written text.
What happens next?
I start again and try.

(chorus)
