[Intro] [Acustic guitar] Stories need a past Fleeting drama doesn't last But It doesn't change how I feel it doesn't matter to me It doesn't change how I feel [Verse 1] What's real when you cry The tears from your eyes? Or The pain in your soul Or the pain in your brain? You Can't cry without pain But without knowing why Your tears can be the opposite of dry [Chorus 1] Cartoons take the realism out of a cow and in the end it's all about emotions anyway [Verse 2] The surroundings are easy Easy to see but not as easy as they are to deny Parasites and enemies cockroaches and amazons Side by side Just to keep on going you need to lie [Chorus 2] Cartoons take the realism out of a cow and in the end it's all about emotions anyway [Solo] [Interlude] (Nothing to hide) (An empty plate) (a fictitious fate) Fiction erases what is real outside and touches you inside makes you feel the real the core of reality [Verse 3] Escape from reality A holiday in sorrow Take Emotions for liars And Believe in tomorrow Mock the Messiah laugh at the fact that Messiah isn't real And never has been born Dissect the paper when the news comes too close Keep going because If you stop You might start to hesitate [Chorus 3] Cartoons take the realism out of a cow And in the end it's all about emotions anyway [Bridge] The poem is nothing like an unborn being it takes a pilot to complete a glittering Boeing [Verse 4] Get high on the roof Getting high is a proof A proof of feeling good And It surely Feels good to feel real good You Feel much better and you care much less What do you want to leave? Everything you see or just the feeling The feeling of being [Chorus 4] Cartoons take the realism out of a cow and in the end it's all about emotions anyway Cartoons take the realism out of a cow Cartoons take the realism out of a cow and in the end it's all about emotions anyway [Outro] [Solo]
