Cartoons + Figure Heads

from Back From Holiday by Our Friend Johnny

lyrics

Cartoons and figure heads
Leave me in the dust that they throw
And I'm running down these roads
With their ups and downs that beat on my toes

My body's sure she'll kill me in the end
And wrap me in a bag to send me in

So I'll keep my pace, silently insisting
And turn my eyes to make up something new
You're strange, alive, I'm flesh, with curious eyes
'Cause life on loop doesn't count

This isn't home but nothing's ever been to me
I flinch like a suburban kid on a bus
So I'll take the wheel and drive into the biggest field I know
To build a town where no one will ever get lost
