Cartoon

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 (Time's tickin' away, time's tickin' away) 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
