i've got connections in the valley, and i've come to find a spark
(on the payroll)
sixteen frames per foot of film, hot on the reel
like Charles Schultz had drawn me, forty, fifty years on down the line (time's a-taken its toll)
executive producer; hands off of the wheel

(all we are is the fun part)
And in the meantime
the machine's changing hands
(but all you've done is gone too far)
all the while he writes
long lists of demands
(but all you want is to make it "art")
its a far cry from
his soft loving hands

i know a finger's in the pie i'm not too far away to see
(head shaped like a bowl)
he's paid to take the helm and choose all of the scenes
(time's-a-takin its toll)
"i claim the right to speak" protagonista taking up the reins
he peers through the glass now
third player enters enters the game

(all we are is the fun part)
And in the meantime
the machine's changing hands
(but all you've done is gone too far)
all the while he writes
long lists of demands
(but all you want is to make it "art")
its a far cry from
his soft loving hands

i made you, remember?
i know you'll thank me later
you'll jump through rings of flames
i'll keep you in jeannie's bottle
pillows soft, cork on tightly
golden goose, bring me fortune
only my pen staves off your doom

(all we are is the fun part)
And in the meantime
the machine's changing hands
(but all you've done is gone too far)
all the while he writes
long lists of demands
(but all you want is to make it "art")
its a far cry from
his soft loving hands
