Lyrics
Every scene you play
Ends the same
Explosion by Acme Corp
But you don't trouble your brain
About what remains
Thinking can be such a bore
It shouldn't be that tough
Or have I changed that much
Well I think it's pretty clear
You'll never change at all
Even when you fall
It's just a puff of smoke that appears
Yeah you're in living color
The fully animated
Cartoon version of yourself
Solely designed
To lift me up
Then leave me
Hangin' from a cliff yellin' help
Oh was I just
So lost in lust
That I couldn't leave you alone
Too scared to try
Too blinded by
This fog of pheromones
I was your biggest fan
But don't you understand
I'd have to grow up soon
Time played its dirty trick
Gave me time to think
And thinking doesn't work in cartoons
You don't deviate in
What you create in
Your animanic view or life
And though I've had a ball
I know I'm bound to fall
If I keep on flyin' this high
There'll be no puff of smoke
Only tears that choke
Tired of bein' on my hands and my knees
Livin' on the edge in
A cartoon legend
Ain't as funny as on TV
