Cartoon Days

Lyrics

[Hook: Leaf Dog] x2 These are Cartoon Days See the words jump right off of the page We all have a role to play, I should warn ya Is it you? Is it me? Who's the author? [Verse 1: Leaf Dog] I feel the pen pressing on my head Then a type writer spelling every word that I said Down the wrong path I've led, I'm set to fold I need to learn the bolt rules from this epic song Break from the mould and get my own show With my bombs on the plane so my pilot will blow It's only right that you know how this cartoon works You can be the hero or the villain that lurks The one's in the background are barely ever heard Their lips are moving but you hear no words As I observe just waiting for the credits The real truth was taken out in the edits The man said there's gonna be a real twist Only at the end will you really know what it is So, play your part that's all we can do And the lead role the author might hand to you [Hook: Leaf Dog] x2 These are Cartoon Days See the words jump right off of the page We all have a role to play, I should warn ya Is it you? Is it me? Who's the author? [Verse 2] BVA My sentences are drawn out and it ain't from the weed My thoughts appear in a bubble at almost double the speed They draw two me's in 2D to represent my split personalities Fighting with each other but the sanity But hold up, I gotta spit this script that's been written On the day I take control you'll see the page with a rip in If they animated this cartoon it would be skipping I'm just a puppet moving wherever the nip is flicking Fitting in where they draw me, until the day I write my own story Drawn slightly different than before me Still scrawny, but grown in the years and intelligence I snatched the pen from the author and write some shit thats relevant I'm just a product of where I am and what I've seen That's why I have to be a comic they can't strip away my dreams Escape from the magazine is the mission And to implement the vision, shit I'll even draw myself a pot to piss in [Hook] x2 These are Cartoon Days See the words jump right off of the page We all have a role to play, I should warn ya Is it you? Is it me? Who's the author? [Verse 3] Jack Jetson Bill and Bake, on adventures like Finn and Jake Put it on the plate like a fillet steak Straight, get stuck like sticky tape Take the Mickey like Minnie's date, listen mate Hit you with the power of the pen and pad All I need: a ten, a bag of cheese, and a speckled tab I be creating remedies like on Dexter's Lab In next dimensions, catch me if you can, you couldn't get a cab I'm wormhole travelling, unravelling the matrix Spaceship in stasis, travelling the ages I dabble in creatives, snakepit escapist Spiral staircase lift, indigo paint kit I blaze spliffs and illustrate hallucinated day trips Geometric shape-shifts of psychedelic play-scripts I blaze piff grade and stay on that grade A tip Pick up my pen and pad and animate shit [Hook: Leaf Dog] x2 These are Cartoon Days See the words jump right off of the page We all have a role to play, I should warn ya Is it you? Is it me? Who's the author?
