Letras:Soul Asylum. Black Gold: The Best Of Soul Asylum. Cartoon.

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
