[Verso 1]
Hey, did you hear me, mom?
Baby's headed home
Against your wishes, I went into the woods alone
[Verso 2]
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
[Verso 3]
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
[Pre Coro]
One night in the park, the pellet gun
Took out an eye, I came undone
[Coro]
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 parent's house upstate
Upstate
[Verso 4]
Woke from the dream and I was old
Staring at the ass crack of dawn
Walked these streets up and down
Looking for Paul Simon
[Pre Coro]
All I found was myself, lost in time
I tried singing my songs
But I lost my mind
[Coro]
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
[Conclusi�n]
What have they done
What have they done
With my jealous one?
With my jealous one?
When I was young
They used to find me pitching horseshoe crabs
Back into the sun
