[Verse 1]
Within the darkened mall
My eyes continue scouting
Sharp teeth and open maw
I look for that cat prowling

The only one like me
We fight when we cross paths
The feline from the reel will see
The Cartoon Dog's full wrath

[Chorus]
Escaped from a world of animation
Embraced, my cartoon realm had come to life
I'll strike that cat with no hesitation
I want to live a lifetime free of strife
Behold the power that I hold
It's a level that you cannot fathom
Brought now to life from tapes of old
Our cartoon world will make you numb

[Verse 2]
A fight of generations
It began long ago
A source without citation
No research ever shows
How our fight started
Its origin's lost to time
Our battleground uncharted
No one can see our prime

[Chorus]
Escaped from a world of animation
Embraced, my cartoon realm had come to life
I'll strike that cat with no hesitation
I want to live a lifetime free of strife
Behold the power that I hold
It's a level that you cannot fathom
Brought now to life from tapes of old
Our cartoon world will make you numb

[Bridge]
Our fight continues on and on
It keeps on going, never done
I keep on thinking the cat is gone
But then it tells me "run, run, run"

It's a cycle I cannot escape
Chasing this cat forever and a day
I refuse to take this as my fate
Someday, I will put down the stray
[Chorus]
Escaped from a world of animation
Embraced, my cartoon realm had come to life
I'll strike that cat with no hesitation
I want to live a lifetime free of strife
Behold the power that I hold
It's a level that you cannot fathom
Brought now to life from tapes of old
Our cartoon world will make you numb
