Horseshoe Crabs Songtext

von Hop Along

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 fro 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 passed 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 up from the dream and I was old
Staring at the asscrack of dawn
Walked these streets up and down
Looking for Paul Simon.
All I found was myself
Lost in time I tried
Singing some 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.
