Cartoon (Album Version)

Cartoon (Album Version) - Soul Asylum

Now everybody's looking after me

If I'm dragging by some coat tail

I can't see it's too dark

But I've got to know what's got the best of me

When the circus that you left goes on parade

And those things you see seem so far in your charade

Too far but I'm feeling like I don't dare look away

Don't look away

Did it almost make you feel

That something's got to happen soon

When you wake up feeling lost in your own room

If you're crying in your beer you're gonna drown

If you think we'll rise above

You'd better look around

You'll see

It's a mountain made of sand crumbling under me

Maybe I'm chasing shadows on your wall

They loom so large but make me feel so small

So hard

When you're chasing your own tail in your own wheels

And a time to leave

And a time to stay I guess the things I look away

Did it almost make you feel that something's gotta happen soon

You're in the movies now and I'm in your cartoon

There's a ringing in my ears that's heaven sent

There's a beast out on the ruins

Some broken down lover's lament

It goes on and on but it won't go away
