He swam steadily for most of the day. Suddenly he found 
Himself approaching an enormous huge floating cavern. 
Could it be an island? Pinocchio looked closed and he 
Saw two huge rows of sharp yellow teeth and he realized 
His mistake. 

So he would sulk and drink and mope 
And cross his arms and hope to die 
And then a fairy came one night 
To bring this sorry boy to life 
She pulled some strings, spilled him about 
That boy jumped up and began to shout
"My arms, my legs, my heart, my face 
They are alive!"
And she would cry, "Liar, liar! 
What have I done? 
You're no lover, and I'm no fighter" 

(The story goes on) 

So he would buy her things and kiss her hair 
To show he was for real 
And she would take those gifts and kisses 
Though just stringing him along 
She knew about those wooden boys 
They take empty love to fill the void 
"Pinocchio, oh boy, how your nose has grown!" 
So he would cry, "Liar, liar!" 
I'll prove it to you!" 
But then it grew 
He had grown tired of her 
So it was true

He left her apartment 
And he walked all night long 
Until he was stopped by the shore of the ocean 
But still he walked on 
Amongst the whales and waves 
And screamed, "Liar, liar!" 
And his wooden body floated away 
He just drifted away 

And now I wonder how I was made 
Now I wonder how I was made
My arms, my legs, my heart, my face 
My name is Driftwood
