lyrics

[Jealous Neptune wants a toy boat.
Jealous Neptune wants a model summer home.
Jealous Neptune never had the chance to learn to share.]

Teased and taunted by his stronger brothers, all heaven-vaunted, Jealous Neptune learned quick that life is far from fair. That lesson he carried with him as he hid whatever he could get his salt-burned fingers on,
and old habits die hard.

He grew up in time and felt he had it all worked out: he was master of his own world and he wanted not, though could never quite trust a soul or figure how he could move on from all the little things piling up

until Salacia split for Brooklyn, pawned her wedding pearls at Luna Park,
shacked up with an investment banker and kept poor Neptune in the dark. When she left for good, oh, he was a man about it, he kept his grudge and festered in his sunken bungalow in the Jersey shanty slums. He spent each day collecting what others throw away 'til he remembered how good it feels to take.

"Nobody pulls the wool over me! Nobody makes a fool of me that way!
Nobody walks away so easily if they know the price they'll have to pay."
And so now we pay.

Jealous Neptune wants a toy car.
Jealous Neptune wants the boardwalk.
Jealous Neptune drives a wall into the shore,
screaming.
