Eli Conley - Pinocchio
I am not a real man, I’ll tell you why
It’s not the reason you are thinking of
Lean in close, I’ll share with you a secret
No one is a real man at all
Chorus:
Pinocchio, you are a boy
it doesn’t take no fairy blue
much less a therapist, three doctors and a knife
to cut your flesh and make you real
you are as real as dreams come true
I’m tired of tracing one straight line back through our lives
Let’s crack up this geode they call boy and girl
to see what pretty stones that it elides
Kinda like this geode there is more to us
than ever possibly could meet the eye
I think I’ve found a way to make it through
I’ll let you in, I’ve got a tip or two
we get together, organize, it’s true
We’ve got a lot of work to do
Chorus
I am not particularly interested
in being illegible for its own sake
I have been illegible to most everyone
Relative to that, manhood is cake
It feels much better to be seen each day
sometimes it’s hard to keep the wolves at bay
who say forget who you were yesterday,
come out with only boys to play
Chorus
I am not a real man, I’ll tell you why
It’s not the reason you are thinking of
Lean in close, I’ll share with you a secret
No one is a real man at all
