Tapes of Old

Within the darkened mall My eyes continue scouting Sharp teeth and open maw I look for that cat prowling The only one like me We fight when we cross paths The feline from the reel will see The Cartoon Dog's full wrath Escaped from a world of animation Embraced my cartoon realm had come to life I'll strike that cat with no hesitation I want to life a lifetime free of strife Behold the power that I hold It's a level that you cannot fathom Brought now to life from tapes of old Our cartoon world will make you numb A fight of generations It began long ago A source without citation No research ever shows How our fight started It's origins lost to time Our battleground uncharted No one can see our prime Escaped from a world of animation Embraced my cartoon realm had come to life I'll strike that cat with no hesitation I want to life a lifetime free of strife Behold the power that I hold It's a level that you cannot fathom Brought now to life from tapes of old Our cartoon world will make you numb Our fight continues on and on It keeps on going never done I keep on thinking the cat is gone But then it tells me run run run It's a cycle I cannot escape Chasing this cat forever and a day I refuse to take this as my fate Someday I will put down the stray Escaped from a world of animation Embraced my cartoon realm had come to life I'll strike that cat with no hesitation I want to life a lifetime free of strife Behold the power that I hold It's a level that you cannot fathom Brought now to life from tapes of old Our cartoon world will make you numb
