Cartoon (Album Version)

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 In those bleacher seats of fire in your charades, it's 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 gotta 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 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 somehow When you're chasing your own tail, spinning your own wheels Simultaneously Dan: On a night when the wolves were all silent, and the moon howled Dave: And I tried to leave, and I tried to stay, tried everything, tried looking 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 ear 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
