Soul Asylum - Cartoon lyrics

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 and you fear 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 somehow, when

you're chasing your own tail spinning 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 somethings gotta happen soon. You're in the movies

now that 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.
