[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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-Chorus]
One night in the park, the pellet gun
Took out an eye, I came undone
[Chorus]
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...
[Bridge]
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-Chorus]
All I found was myself, lost in time
I tried singing my songs
But I lost my mind
[Chorus]
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 Sound
[Outro]
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 Sound
