New Yorker Cartoon Lyrics

Jenny & Johnny New Yorker Cartoon

[Verse 1: Johnathan Rice & Jenny Lewis]
I was running
From imaginary vampire bats
I was shrieking at the moon
While Montezuma laughed
Oh, Aztlan blues
And reds, and greens, and golds
I hope that I die
When I'm a hundred years old

[Chorus: Johnathan Rice & Jenny Lewis]
Lookin' like a New Yorker cartoon
Sleepin' in a golden cocoon
With you

[Verse 2: Johnathan Rice & Jenny Lewis]
I was makin' love
To my sister from another life
I was stitching seams of my opine dreams
With a needle from a camel's eye
If I could give myself some advice
I'd go out of my mind right now
I'd stay here with my baby
Forever in the here and now

[Chorus: Johnathan Rice & Jenny Lewis]
Lookin' like a New Yorker cartoon
Sleepin' in a golden cocoon
With you
With you

[Verse 3: Johnathan Rice & Jenny Lewis]
I was returning my salute
To the lieutenant paper bag
And my best friend, Farmer Dave
Lit me up so I could take a drag
My sister's former flame
Threw his shirt into the fire
An aging child prodigy
A genius who inspired

[Chorus: Johnathan Rice & Jenny Lewis]
Lookin' like a New Yorker cartoon
Sleeping in a golden cocoon
With you
With you
With you
