Punchinello At Stage Right

lyrics

I remember the faded look of mischief on that
face from ages ago;
Punchinello at stage right, barely breathing from the
sheer force of his blows

and on the left side the preachers, the children,
the devil and of course, Judy there;
their accusations grew loud in incantations
however hard he swatted the air.

And then the blink of an instant and you're running and
click, bang! It falls away
You drop your weapon, you let go the devil
and you lay down at the end of the day;
you lay down at the end of the day.

From far away, I can say it doesn't matter if we
didn't always walk toward the light;
they never saw us for who we are, the forest
and the fire changed our shapes in the night.

I mean, it's not like I've never seen a sight to make me
shake the shadow of doubt;
like Punchinello, my pages start to yellow and my secrets
they may never come out...

And then the blink of an instant and you're running and
click, bang! It falls away
You drop your weapon, you let go the devil
and you lay down at the end of the day;
you lay down at the end of the day.
