The Cactus Hop Along

Now boy decides he cannot walk
Boy decides to take the train
And sing and swing his arms softly
Watch himself in the windowpane
And he says "This is necessary
And though she said I should not run again
I just could not live under the same roof as him

And in the desert I deserve some sleep
And I need recourse for the course I am taking."
And we just got word from your mother
Who said she's awfully sorry
But she understands
It's just she loves her man

But what's the problem?
Yeah, he's been burnin' your blankets all this time
It's, it's for your own good
That you learn to be a cold man too

And he could not go home to his mother
Cause she's in love with an animal
Nothing to hold in his arms
They both became mechanical

Only the girl in the airplane he'd
Read about when he was small
Could save him
Be the friend he needed all along
And she'd love him, she'd love him, love him
