By the Shore

In tatoo parlours by the shore

they do anchors by the score

neptune and mermaids

and girls from far away

in tatoo parlours by the shore

In massage parlours by the shore

they do sailors by the score

even when business stank

forty they'd wank

in massage parlours by the shore

In funeral parlours by the shore

business is rarely poor

marble slabs sagging with

drownings and stabbings in

funeral parlours by the shore
