a song for eddie - mc lars lyrics

verse 1:

dust on his desk where he sat you remember
trips to catalina every december
ringling brothers, barnum and bailey
on the road with dad, but it seems like lately
you don’t want get up
want to sleep all day but it’s never enough!
plus, dolores stopped calling
in your dreams the piano keeps falling
you saw betty in the club
whiskey in you cup wish you had someone to love
toontown, no i haven’t been back
when the memories return you’ll be sippin on that jack
and i’m tripping on the fact that a toon would attack
and leave my brother flat, now peace is what you lack
used to be a lot laughs way back in the day
now you drink so you can sleep and the nightmares go away
but you still see those eyes glowing red in his head
as you toss and turn in this murphy bed
remember how you saved huey dewey and louie ?
cleared goofy’s name, just like in the movies
where the good guys win – finding a balance
no case to big for valiant and valiant
that’s why you miss your little brother
so if we need to find you you’ll be hiding in these covers (undercover)

chorus:

eddie valiant, we can work it out (work it out)
got to put the bottle down (put the bottle down)
’cause we haven’t seen you ’round
your friends and family miss you
and there’s trouble in the town (going down)

verse 2:

you remember laughter, that high squeaky voice
those burning red eyes, how you had to make a choice
should you chase the toon down yokster street?
or stay with my brother it was hard to see
but teddy never made it, he was crushed you see
now i no longer trust the lapd
‘cause they never found leads on that crooked toon
in the dark alleyway, teddy met his doom
when you see the hills all shiny and green
you can’t go back, cause you still hear his screams
and you know they’ve got meetings to help with the grief
but you can’t leave my house think you’ll take 40 winks
and it’s been 40 weeks since you last touched his desk
newspaper clippings in a pile you could guess
the valiant bros had the best reputation
the gumshoes come through what a combination
you pray one day you’ll laugh again
call bugs up like way back when
say “what’s up doc? man how you been?”
it will be so good to finally see you friends
‘cause they’ve always been there, when you’m ready
you’ll pour one out for my brother teddy
but until then, you’re sleeping in
‘cause i can’t face a world that he’s not in, once again

chorus:

verse 3:

you got a call from rk maroon
world renowned for maroon cartoons
went to his office, poured yourself a drink
saw dumbo through the window and it made you think
what the flying elephant in the room might be
saw his face in the gl-ss and you took a seat
on maroon’s his newest project he needed a hand
he was – over-budget, 25 grand
cause a famous actor couldn’t learn his lines
a broken hearted rabbit, you were like nevermind
you don’t work for toons anymore, anymore don’t be silly
forget screwy squirrel, forget chilly w-lly
forget d-nky doodle, you had to let ‘em go
just ask angelo, i don’t work for them no more
you said, “rk, you’d better call someone else!”
‘cause toons on the run are bad for your health

chorus:

outro:

now i know why you yanked my ears
all those times you yanked my ears
’cause you’re mad at toons, deep down it’s clear
yeah you’re mad at toons and you’ve been for years
