Jonathan Fallow Lyrics

Jonathan Fallow lyrics

Witness Jonathan Fallow, sit & stare, 



He's a cartoon engineer extraordinaire 



He's a tatterdemalion of dubious means, 



Paper champion pencil making scenes 



You see objects he sees life like 



Bulbous-eyed homunculus, half boy half rhinoceros 



People say he's useless, it seems like he's useless 



Everyday he's useless, sometimes he feels sad 



Witness Jonathan Fallow wasting talent & time 



Nobody understands why there's happiness in his eyes 



What about social standing? What about all his goals? 



Cold, inanimate objects have no claim on his soul 



Witness Jonathan Fallow in his past years 



Work constituents give him wild cheers 



He's a natural born successful man 



No one illustrates like Jonathan can 



Stand in awe & watch him draw 



Chinese black belts chopping blocks eggplant head jack in the box 



Now he seems so useless, People say he's useless, 



Sometimes he gets mad 



Witness Jonathan Fallow wasting talent & time 



Nobody understands why there's happiness in his eyes 



What about social standing? What about all his goals? 



Cold, inanimate objects have no claim on his soul 



Witness Jonathan Fallow's darkest day, 



Watch the people he penned go far away 



He knows that "publish or perish" is the number one rule 



No one ever told him the truth could be so horribly cruel 



No way out & no way over... 



Bulbous-eyed homunculi, half boy half rhinoceri, 



Oddball creeps out of ink & lead bouncing on their paper bed 



So when you see him on the street, downtown and down and out 



Don't say he's useless 



Witness Jonathan Fallow wasting talent & time 



Nobody understands why there's happiness in his eyes 



What about social standing? What about all his goals? 



Cold, inanimate objects have no claim on his soul 



Witness Jonathan Fallow wasting talent & time 



Nobody understands why there's happiness in his eyes 



What about social standing? What about all his goals? 



Cold, inanimate objects have no claim on his soul...
