Cartoon Graveyard
So I want to be a rich man
But a poor man in the eyes of our Lord
And money money money money
It seems so funny, but only when I'm bored
So I want to be a tall man
But a short man in the foots of large doors
I'm trying to savour grace and favour
It seems ridiculous and rotten to the core
An now I want to be a smart man
But a stupid man indeed when duty calls
And what's responsibility when those around me
They seek until they're bored
I don't want to be a cartoon graveyard
I don't want to wake up on my own
I don't want to be so badly drawn by somene else
Cartoon graveyard, you are not my home
I just want to be a fun man
I want to be the life and soul of every party
I want to show you I can fly
Into this silver-clouded sky with no wings at all
Then I'm going to be a high man
Gonna be so out there when you call me today
Yeah rum and cola, knock me over
And I will crawl into the hole right here and stay
I don't want to be a cartoon graveyard
I don't want to wake up on my own
I don't want to be so badly drawn by somene else
Cartoon graveyard, you are not my home
I will be what they want me to be, if only for a while
Little demons come out to play
They melt away my smile
I don't want to be a cartoon graveyard
I don't want to wake up on my own
I don't want to be so badly drawn by somene else
Cartoon graveyard, you are not my home
But a poor man in the eyes of our Lord
And money money money money
It seems so funny, but only when I'm bored
So I want to be a tall man
But a short man in the foots of large doors
I'm trying to savour grace and favour
It seems ridiculous and rotten to the core
An now I want to be a smart man
But a stupid man indeed when duty calls
And what's responsibility when those around me
They seek until they're bored
I don't want to be a cartoon graveyard
I don't want to wake up on my own
I don't want to be so badly drawn by somene else
Cartoon graveyard, you are not my home
I just want to be a fun man
I want to be the life and soul of every party
I want to show you I can fly
Into this silver-clouded sky with no wings at all
Then I'm going to be a high man
Gonna be so out there when you call me today
Yeah rum and cola, knock me over
And I will crawl into the hole right here and stay
I don't want to be a cartoon graveyard
I don't want to wake up on my own
I don't want to be so badly drawn by somene else
Cartoon graveyard, you are not my home
I will be what they want me to be, if only for a while
Little demons come out to play
They melt away my smile
I don't want to be a cartoon graveyard
I don't want to wake up on my own
I don't want to be so badly drawn by somene else
Cartoon graveyard, you are not my home
