Cardboard People

Cardboard people moving down the street
Cardboard people I will never meet
Sometimes I wish I could join them
Cardboard people moving to the beat

Stone cold demeanor
getting ever meaner
Knock me down, before I
spill my drink on you

Poisonous purple dinosaurs killing the name
Poisonous purple dinosaurs puking pellets of pain
I never did want to join them
Poisonous purple dinosaurs playing a game

I've never seen you
looking this blue, should I
Knock you down, before I
spontaneously combust

Don't know what this is about
It sounds like a familiar shout
But this is a pretty fucked up song
So I'll stop now.


In a very very early version of what was to become Luna Ray, I wrote this to an extent, then forgot about it for a while. It's purposely random and stream-of-consciousness, since I was trying to challenge myself by writing something light-hearted and oddballish like Lemon Demon.
