[Verse 1: 2-D]
To the pool at least try
to let it go
But nobody knows what
they’re fooling with
here
There will be time and
there will be a sign
When all the kids who
have cancelled time
Will take my hands and
pull me up again
Cheer me up and help me
walk again (walk again)
To the pool at least try
to let it go
But nobody knows what they’re
fooling with here
I got bones, and I got jaded legs
Not the type that can win a race
Living plastic on a vacant lot
Left behind and staring at a robot

[Chorus: 2-D]
Don’t be sad for me
I’m a cartoon G
And my intent is to
breathe in a new world
Don’t be sad for me

[Verse 2: 2-D]
I can balance on
the highest tree
You can only see
outlines of me
I can disappear,
or lighten your day
In this tainted stage
I’m a skinny
little ape

[Chorus: 2-D]
Don’t be sad for
me (I’m a skinny
little ape)
I’m a cartoon G
And my intent is
to breathe in a
new world
Don’t be sad for me

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Chorus: 2-D]
Don’t be sad for me
I’m a cartoon G
And my intent is
to breathe in a
new world
Don’t be sad for me
[Chorus: 2-D]
Don’t be sad for me
I’m a cartoon G
And my intent is
to breathe in a new world
Don’t be sad for
me

[Verse 2: 2-D]
I can balance on
the highest tree
You can only see
outlines of me
I can disappear,
or lighten your day
In this tainted stage
I’m a skinny
little ape

[Chorus: 2-D]
Don’t be sad for
me (I’m a skinny
little ape)
I’m a cartoon G
And my intent is to
breathe in a new world
Don’t be sad for me

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Chorus: 2-D]
Don’t be sad for me
I’m a cartoon G
And my intent is to
breathe in a new world
Don’t be sad for me
