Saturday in Paradise

Pulses beating, Saturday heating up, Take a seat and imagine if you will; paradise
Whiskey bottles across the floor, A hangar on the door warning curious bystanders
Clothes across the fan and shoes kicked off on the nightstand
Jewelry is off and Mt Dew hat is on, Windows are open and music is on
Imagine Dragons compliment Jagerbombs quite nicely
Bucket of ice nearby and a Metallica cd just sitting in wait

Late night, Eyes wide with fright, Bright light in the window
Shit it’s your dad and he says he’s oh so mad
I thought I had locked the lock but he’s got a shotgun and it’s already cocked
I’m out of bed, Scurrying like a rat grabbing my clothes and getting ready to scat
But he tells me to pull up a chair, So I fix my hair and grab a pair of bottles

“I used to be like you…” I’m sure that’s true, But I’m too focused on Sue
She’s making faces and tracing a map down her chest to her legs
He’s checking if I’m paying attention, I nod respectfully and chuckle subtly

“I’ve travelled over seas and through storms you couldn’t dream of”
Room’s still warm, Perhaps that’s why she’s licking herself
He glances back and sees nothing, I’m glad I invested in a closet so big

“You’re a good kid….” Funny, my dad used to say the same thing
Before he found scars on my wrist and me od’d on the bathroom floor
Mushrooms in my drawer didn’t help, Tequila and Sheila in my bed didn’t either

“Don’t corrupt my daughter…” She’s making the room hotter, Fingering her pussy to Red Hot Chili Peppers
I don’t think she could be any wetter, But damn it she’s trying
Shit, I can’t concentrate on this honest and heartfelt magistrate telling his life story

“You will never find the glory if you never accept the pain of sacrifice”
He’s got a point, In a sort of fucked up hypocritical way
After all, I heard he ran away in the face of danger
Pity, I could almost believe his façade

“I’ll take my daughter now…” Whoa now, Slow your roll, She just got here and she’s staying
He’s fighting, She’s biting her lip, Swinging her hip, He’s arguing, He’s sharpening his teeth
At least I had a few minutes, I thought, but her body is too tight to give in to this slight danger

So I hit him in the nose, Say I know how he feels, Grab Sue and make for the door
Just then the cops bust in, They ignore her and go straight for me, Say they got a warrant
Arrest me? Give it a rest, I never did anything wrong…today or yesterday
They say a kind informant said I was dealing drugs, I shrugged and didn’t know what to say

So they handcuff me and press me up against a wall, Said I would have to turn somebody in or I’d take the fall
Suddenly Sue jumps on the officer, Naked as a baby and with the rage of a lion protecting her young
Her dad swings at me, Like I was resisting, I keep insisting I’ll go peacefully
But that’s hard to prove, Since my woman is so violent and hellbent on keeping me here

I try to steer her away, Possibly steal her and jump out the window but we’re on the third floor
So I slam the door on one child-looking popo, Saying I’m so sorry but I got somewhere to go
Rip Sue from the poor bastard she was biting, Saying I love the spirit but there’s no use fighting
So I grip my hat in my hand, Taking Sue with the other, Saying you better hold onto something

We hit the ground a second later, In a blur of skin and loud sounds emanating from her loud mouth
Limping like a war hero and cussing like a sailor, We made our way through the grass and weeds
Afraid of poison ivy, I told her to get on my shoulders, She did without question
I felt like we were in a movie, She was Maid Marion and I was Charlton Heston
