my cartoons (lyrics)

[muleyredux]

when i was a little boy
watching my cartoons
considered never problems ever
watching my cartoons
where did me as a child go?
i wish i knew
i suppose he's still around
somewhere dancing nude...

and only knows
that life is so
messy

when i was a little squirt
between naps and eating dirt
never considered the birds or bees
only my cartoons
when i was a little dear
still forcing things in my ear
several animal lives were saved
by my cartoons

i miss running in those shoes
every spank on my caboose
even every chore i'd do
just to watch the next cartoon
don't regret a recess missed
to avoid the slightest kiss
i knew deadly germs were found
where there was a girl around

when i was a little guy
fast asleep well before nine
dreamt of being super
and of course my cartoons
where did me as a child go?
i wish i knew
i suppose he's still around
somewhere around here somewhere
when i was a little man
rode my bike because i could
never saw a soul outside
before my cartoons...

that animation
kept my head
dreamin'

i miss running in those shoes
all the physical abuse
every careless escapade
repaid by cuts and by scrapes
