Cartoon Lyrics - Black Gold: The Best Of Soul Asylum - Soul Asylum

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 in your beer 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, so hard 

When you're chasing your own tail in your own wheels 

And a time to leave 

(Time's tickin' away, time's tickin' away) 

And a time to stay, I guess the things I look 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 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
