Hop Along - Horseshoe Crabs lyrics

Hey, did you hear me Mom? Baby's headed home Against your wishes I went into the woods alone Just look at my face A vegetable beet red I know you gave me money for the motel But I came here instead I came here instead. What I wanted when I left you brushed by so close With the money I got pretty gone and bloodied some poor actor's nose One night in the park the pellet gun took out an eye I came undone One college kid came to see me. He pa**ed me that nylon string asked me to play him something. So I tried my hand at “Blues Run the Game” I barely made it through it Then he had to go back to his parents' house upstate Woke from the dream and I was old staring at the a**crack of dawn. Walked these streets up and down looking for Paul Simon All I found was myself, lost in time I tried singing my songs but I lost my mind What have they done with my jealous one? Who is gonna talk trash long after I'm gone? When I was young they used to find me pitching horseshoe crabs back into the sun.
