Driftwood: A Fairy Tale Lyrics - The Ugly Organ - Cursive

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 

And spun him about. 

That boy sprang up 

And began to shout, 

"my arms, my legs, my heart, my face 

They're 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 hand 

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- 

It's an 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 

'til he was stopped by the shore of the ocean. 

But still he walked on, amongst the whales 

And the waves, and screamed 

"liar, liar!" 

And his wooden body floated away. 

He just drifted away. 

And now I wonder how I was made...(x2) 

My arms, my legs, my heart, my face, 

My name is driftwood.
