His fea is fading, from grief unabating,
Madness takes its toll
Into a crab he is shrinking!
Where there's not so much thinking!
Elf hröa loses control
He can barely remember doing the Crab Warp
Lost in a moment when
The darkness would seize him
And the Void would be calling
Let's do the Crab Warp again!
Let's do the Crab Warp again!
It's just a scuttle to the left...
And then a skitter to the right!
Put your claws on your hips
And bring your knees in tight!
But it's the carapace thrust
That makes you forget those kin you've slain!
Let's do the Crab Warp again!
Let's do the Crab Warp again!
He is hiding, in his burrows abiding
So the seagulls can't see him -- no, not at all
He's a tiny crustacean!
He can feel the Music's vibration!
In wind and wave, he still feels all.
He still wanders the seashore!
But sings laments no more!
His life is no longer quite the same;
He's under Ossë's protection!
It's not natural selection!
Let's do the Crab Warp again!
Let's do the Crab Warp again!
Well, he was scuttling down the beach
'Twixt the waves and the sand
When a dark-haired elf picked him up in his hand
Saw the eight pointed star on his shell with wide eyes, And asked "Atya? Is it you?" with hope and surprise
They took ship together and they sailed to the West, Where waiting for the crab were all the elves he loved best
Let's do the Crab Warp again!
Let's do the Crab Warp again!
It's just a scuttle to the left...
He's growing stronger every day!
Put your claws on your hips
He's got things he wants to say!
Warmed by his family's love,
And safe with his brothers all 'round him again
Will he e'er do the Elf Warp again?
Let's try the Elf Warp again!
