Jonathan Fallow Songtext
von Pain

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 see 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 how'd he get 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
Now way out & no way over
Bulbous-eyed homunculi,
Half boy half rhinoceri
Oddball creeps of ink
& Lead bouncing on their paper bed
(So) when you see him on the street
Downtown & down & 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
