The Revenge

[Verse 1]
I stood beneath the burning sun
Roots in the earth, I was the one
You came with steel, the deed was done
My shadow died, my life outrun

[Verse 2]
Geppetto, hear me, turn away
Don’t shape your sins in wood and clay
I’m not the dream you need to play
Let me still breathe, let me still stay

[Chorus]
Pinocchio wanted revenge on Geppetto
With a wound in his heart that would never let go
He raised his axe, moving deadly slow
And started the hunt screaming—
Oh–oh–oh–oh–oh–oh—Geppetto ran away

[Verse 3]
I searched the peaks, I crossed the sea
Through desert storms that swallowed me
To polar nights where souls freeze free
But Geppetto’s ghost won’t answer me


[Reverb-drenched surf guitar solo]


[Bridge]
The Fairy whispered soft and slow
“Revenge will drown the heart you know”
Jiminy said, “Just let it go”
I screamed back loud, “I don’t care though”

[Chorus]
Pinocchio wanted revenge on Geppetto
With a wound in his heart that would never let go
He raised his axe, moving deadly slow
And started the hunt screaming—
Oh–oh–oh–oh–oh–oh—Geppetto ran away

[Outro]
Oh–oh–oh—run away
Oh–oh–oh—run away
Oh–oh–oh—run away
Geppetto ran away
