Cartoon Gold lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm not good with numbers, I just count on knowing when I'm high enough

Once the driver knows you got good sense, he takes away the carrots too

[Verse 2]
Getting all excited finding nothing that was never there before
Is like bringing flowers to your mama and tracking dog sh*t all over the floor
Jesus made the flowers, but it took a dog to make the story good
I think about you when I can, and sometimes when I don't, I probably should

Sitting in a bar in L.A. after dark with my sunglasses on
