My Parents Went To Cancún you got a shiny new bike all I ever got was love doing headstands on a mountainside all I ever got was love in a world of shiny things you’ve gone insane maybe I can help you with this in my own way you want everything all I ever got was love past the point of embarrassing when jungles are burning up and you’re spinning in your drink smoking the latest thing making enemies with people just like yourself dancing in your head your cat’s in the fridge quoting a song by prince about the pretty mess you got a hot new job all I got was love coming home to the floor maybe love’s enough
