Never Again Tangle

[Verse 1]
Met you down by the dock
In a moonlit shock
You had eight slick arms
And a whole lotta charm

I said, "Well, hello"
You said, "Come and go"
Now my boots in the sand
And my heart in your hand

[Pre-Chorus]
Then you pulled me close
Like a hog in a rainstorm
I should've run
When your grin turned wormed

[Chorus]
I’ll never make love
To the squid tentacle monster again
No more sweet talk
No more tangled beds to the end
I’ll never make love
To the squid tentacle monster again
(never again)
I’m learnin’ my lesson, friend

[Verse 2]
You left slime on the screen door
Tent prints on the floor
Mama saw my shirt
And said, "Boy, what’s that for?"

I told her, "It was fate"
She just shook her head
Said, "Son, that creature
Ain’t safe in your bed"

[Pre-Chorus]
Then the moon went dim
And the waves got louder
Your arms went wide
Like a weed-wrapped shower

[Chorus]
I’ll never make love
To the squid tentacle monster again
No more sweet talk
No more tangled beds to the end
I’ll never make love
To the squid tentacle monster again
(never again)
I’m learnin’ my lesson, friend

[Bridge]
Now the bait shop laughs
When I walk on by
And the dock boys grin
When they catch my eye

But I keep my boots
Way out of that tide
’Cause one wet goodbye
Was enough this time

[Chorus]
I’ll never make love
To the squid tentacle monster again
No more sweet talk
No more tangled beds to the end
I’ll never make love
To the squid tentacle monster again
(never again)
I’m learnin’ my lesson, friend
