Cartoon Gold

I'm not good with numbers

I just count on knowing when I'm high enough

A mule with only two legs counting steps

Toward dangling carrots don't add up

I think about you when I can

And even sometimes when I can't I do

Once the driver knows you got good sense

He takes away the carrots too

Getting all excited, finding nothing

That was never there before

It's like bringing flowers to your Mama

And tracking dog shit all over the floor

Jesus made the flowers

But it took a dog to make the story good

I think about you when I can

And sometimes when I don't I probably should

Tending bar in L.A. after dark

Must be like mining cartoon gold

Rocks that won't cooperate

And tools that drive you crazy must get old

I think about you when I can

And sometimes when I do I still get caught

Sitting in a bar in L.A. after dark

With my sunglasses on
