Lyrics

Frogger

(Nice going, spazz) I'm tired of this city, all this toil and strife. Trying to cross the boulevard, playing Frogger with my life. Frogger with my life [x2] I'm tired of this city, all this toil and strife. Trying to cross the boulevard, playing Frogger with my life. Frogger with my life (with my life), [x3] Frogger with my life.

'Frogger,' you might remember that old Atari game where you control the little frog that you must guide safely across the road. I think Graffin means these ideas are also for life, that life is like a huge, busy road.
