What Now, World?

We'd been together so long

But not really together

...But really that long

You ran away from my loving

You got all in your head

I tried to walk it back but

You freaked out and said:

"I like penis coladas

But I cannot be gay

I have to go right now, bro

Don't look at me that way

I know that we were almost something

But the sound of my name

Reminded me I can't do this

I must go find a dame"

I could only think about your lady

With you in your bed

I tried to go get la-aid

But we psychosexu'lly stared instead

So I went home alone

Jerked off in the shower, hard

Had to picture your fa-ace

Felt I was trapped in that bar

"Yeah, I miss penis coladas

Going down on your hole

I think that's called a rim job

Your mom taught me that lol

I want to see you at the All Stars game

Though I'm dreading it too

If you are engaged then

I don't know what I'll do"

So I waited with beer in hand

Tried to be unflappable

I asked, "Are you still with whatshername?"

He said, "We were not compatible."

I looked the word up later

I felt much less doomed

Then he said that he'd see me

Up in my hotel room

"I know you like penis coladas

Okie, so you're gay

You are also real' boring

Mr. Re-eal Estate

And you look at me with yearning eyes

And you call me by name

Can we have this love now?

Stay with me and exclaim*

[*because you're coming so hard]

"Yes, you like penis coladas

And sucking cock with no shame

I guess you're 'decent' at hockey

Now be good and behave

You like making love at all times

And turning it into a game

I'm the love that you really want

Come with me* and be gay"

[*Yes, is pun, Shane]

If you like folding clothes

And overthinking in bed

Come with me and I'll Dom you

Till way more's done than said

------

"But you ran from my home that

I maybe bought just for you

I would never say it

But the windows might do

If you come back I promise I won't ask for more

I'll be good and behave

Let's just fuck again please

We'd been together so long

But not really together

...But really that long

You ran away from my loving

You got all in your head

I tried to walk it back but

You freaked out and said:
