V1:
Walking down the street smile on my face
Blissfully unaware of what comes next
Cuz this is the part where you set your traps
Lined up the anvil, some bomb shells too
Dug the holes, fake doors leading nowhere
Gotta watch my feet with all these mouse traps
Chorus:
Feel like I'm livin' in a cartoon
Moving through these rooms
You set silly little things try to catch me up
Cuz just when it starts getting good
You go and try to push it back
Setting these traps so you can blame it on me
Feels like I'm dealing with the bad guy... on a cartoon
V2:
Walking down the street just doing me
Lost in my own world seeing what comes next
Slide past the anvil, don't make the sticks go boom
Side stepping holes, don't open any doors
Make it through the minefield without any snaps
But can't say the same thing for you
You set them up but at the end of the day
They only end up hitting you
Chorus:
Feel like I'm livin' in a cartoon
Moving through these rooms
You set silly little things try to catch me up
Cuz just when it starts getting good
You go and try to push it back
Setting these traps so you can blame it on me
Feels like I'm dealing with the bad guy... on a cartoon
Bridge:
This is the part before the credits roll
As I walk into the sunset with a smile on my face
You standing there with an ACME bruise
I'm moving on and in the end
All the traps you laid only hurt you
Closing:
Felt like I was livin' in a cartoon
Moving through those rooms
You set silly little things try to catch me up
Cuz just when it started getting good
You went and tried to push it back
Setting these traps so you could blame it on me
But just like Willie, Tom, and Sam
It all blew back, you got stuck in your own traps
And it all goes to prove,
I was dealing with the bad guy... from a cartoon
