Stuck between the devil and the deep blue sea,
Or a rock and a hard work of art.
I know that theres something youre keeping from me,
You know its breaking me apart.

So why dont you get it over with?

Cartoon harpoon, through my heart.
Cartoon harpoon. Perfect shot.
Knock-down-drag-out, from the start.
I haven't moved at all,
My pulse is off the charts.

I bet I could count on one hand,
The number of times that you said
Anything worth listening to
So Ive learned how to tune it out.

Cause youve told me a thousand times before.

Cartoon harpoon, through my heart.
Cartoon harpoon, from the start.
Thrown-out-held-down, off the charts.
I haven't moved an inch.
My pulse is off the charts.

Reel me in, reel me in, reel me in, reel me in,
Reel me in, reel me in, reel me in, reel me in,
Reel me in, reel me in, reel me in, reel me in,
Reel me in, reel me in, reel me in, reel me in,
(Real men, real men, real men wouldnt fall for that.)
(Real men, real men, real men shouldnt fall for that.)

Kicked in the shins, pushed overboard.
Can't swim away. Can't swim to shore.
And my life jacket won't save me now.
Even if I wanted it to.

Cartoon. Harpoon.
Band-aids hand-grenades.
Pocketknives. Alibis.
Morphine. Gasoline.
Cartoon. Harpoon.
(Perfect shot.)
