Oh dear Pinocchio/tell me which way to go/ for I sometimes long to be real
Must I lose everything when they cut loose my strings and is it so much better to feel

Then don’t ever let me fall/ don’t ever let me down
And don’t forget what goes around comes around
See ya in the next life

Now if the blue fairy should come to rescue me/ well I will send her right on back to the sky
So I won’t have to learn that wood will always burn when it comes too close to the fire

So don’t ever let me fall/ don’t ever let me down
And don’t forget what goes around comes around
See ya in the next life, yeah see you in the next life

Interlude

Oh conscience don’t you fret, I’m just a marionette/ made of sticks and strings and stuff
But I won’t have to weep that which I cannot keep
Not the real thing, but close enough


So don’t ever let me fall/ don’t ever cut me down
And don’t forget what goes around comes around
See ya in the next life, yeah see you in the the next life
