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 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

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

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

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

  1. N.... C....

    This is a song LiS would incorporate into their game and absolutely ruin. But I'm glad the franchise ain't doing well so they won't make any more sequels

  2. J.... U....

    My life needed this sound

  3. h.... ....

    This song gives me so many emotions, it's one of the few songs I'll just play on repeat over and over all day.

  4. j.... ....

    I really like Bark Your Head Off, Dog... but this album does a little more for me.

    j.... ....

    I was expecting them to not be able to top Painted Shut, but imo they definitely did. Bark Your Head Off is beautiful

  5. l.... ....

    i love this song so much

  6. Z.... S....

    Bittersweet amazing music

    Hey did you hear me, mom?
    Baby's headed home
    Against your wishes
    I went into the woods alone

    [Verse 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

    [Verse 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

    [Verse 4]
    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

    Long after I'm gone?
    When I was young
    They used to find me
    Pitching Horseshoe crabs
    Back into the Sun

    [Outro]
    What have they done
    With my jealous one? (x2)
    When I was young
    They used to find me
    Pitching Horseshoe crabs
    Back into the Sun

    never know how i'm supposed to feel after this song. i love it though.

  10. C.... H....

    according to lyric genius, this is "A song from the perspective of American folk singer Jackson C Frank.
    Considered influential, he never achieved much commercial success.
    Shortly into his career, he fell into depression, lost confidence, and
    faded from the music scene and into obscurity. He died, half-blind, of
    pneumonia in 1999, aged 56."

    C.... H....
