Horseshoe Crabs Lyrics - Painted Shut - 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.
