girl…
Pinocchio
You wooden head
Your nose wouldn’t grow
If you did what you said
crowd…
Pinocchio
Who pulls your string?
You dance like a fool
And you can’t even sing
Creator…
Pinocchio
You marionette
You get what you want
Do you want what you get?
narrator…
Pinocchio
I know you’re not real
But I swear I see
In your eyes what I feel
narrator…
Pinocchio
I broke you good
Shattered dreams
Just brittle wood
narrator…
Pinocchio
Take it from me
Real’s not all
It’s cracked up to be
narrator…
Pinocchio
I’m sorry, son
I made you pay
For the shit I’ve done
girl…
Pinocchio
You were broken and lost in a tree
But God…
He brought you back to me
narrator…
Pinocchio
I’ll get the glue
Soon you’ll be
As good as new
narrator…
Pinocchio
There’s never been
A more fragile boy
Or fucked up friend
narrator…
Pinocchio
You found your match
All by yourself
No strings attached
girl…
Pinocchio
You’re free to go
Or you can stay
Just let me know
girl…
Pinocchio
Please say what’s true!
Pinocchio…
â€I want to stay
’Cause I love you.â€

My very own version of Pinocchio – a true story – will be included in my upcoming tell-almost-all autobiography. Stay tuned. Well, stand by. I expect it to be published by Summer, 2023.
