Stuck Inside Hartland With The Heartless Blues Again

Oh, the hoodlums run in circles all around block And I'd go see what they're saying but I know that they don't talk And the clowns, ain't they so cute now, with their every hair in place They blow a kiss as you leave then they put on a different face Oh Mama, can this really be the end? To be stuck inside of Hartland with the heartless blues again Well the manchild, he's in the hallway with his hat and his little bell Speaking to some Brighton girl who says she knows me well And I would go and talk to them and tell them how they've grown But Steve Jobs stole my mouth and I guess I lost my phone Oh Mama, can this really be the end? To be stuck inside of Hartland with the heartless blues again Mona tried to tell me to stay away from the grapevine She said that all the grape pickers do is drink up your blood like wine And I said, "Oh I didn't know that, but then again, there's only one I met And she just smoked my eyelids and punched my cigarette Oh Mama, can this really be the end? To be stuck inside of Hartland with the heartless blues again Well the kid kept starting food fights and wouldn't you only guess I didn't throw a single crumb but I had to clean up the mess And I went to the janitor's closet where the broom was hid And what do I see when I open the door but the janitor and the kid Oh Mama, can this really be the end? To be stuck inside of Hartland with the heartless blues again Well coach got fired last week for dropping the ball And everybody still talks about how much they were appalled But me, I expected it to happen, I knew he'd lost his grip When I caught him under the bleachers in the middle of the championship Oh Mama, can this really be the end? To be stuck inside of Hartland with the heartless blues again Now the teacher looked so baffled when I asked him why he dressed With twenty pounds of homework stapled to his chest And he cursed me when I proved to him, and I whispered, "You know that even you don't know You see, you're just like me, I hope you enjoy the show" Oh Mama, can this really be the end? To be stuck inside of Hartland with the heartless blues again When Emma says come see her in her in home across the lake Where I can watch her snapping pictures and waving around a snake And I say, "Aw come on now, I gotta gal waiting for me down at Beaumont And she says, "Your girl just knows what you need, but I know what you want" Oh Mama, can this really be the end? To be stuck inside of Hartland with the heartless blues again Now the rainman gave me two cures and he said, "Jump right in" The one was Milford medicine, the other was just graveyard gin And like a fool, I mixed them and it strangled up my mind And now people just get uglier and I have no sense of time Oh Mama, can this really be the end? To be stuck inside of Hartland with the heartless blues again Now the governor came down here handing everybody masks Tossing a double-edged lasso around anybody with a flask And me, I nearly got busted, and wouldn't it be my fate They said I'd be free in one more day and it came one day too late Oh Mama, can this really be the end? To be stuck inside of Hartland with the heartless blues again Now the rain drizzles down on Highland Road where the neon madmen crawl And they pass the time so perfectly with their pretty posts and all And here I sit so patiently waiting to find out what price You have to pay to get out of going through all these things twice Oh Mama, is this really the end? To be stuck here inside of Hartland with the heartless blues again
