Cursive Driftwood A Fairy Tale (Lyrics)

[Spoken:]
He swam steadily for most of the day.
Suddenly he found himself approaching an enormous floating cavern.
Could it be an island?
Pinocchio looked closer 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
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 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-
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...
my arms, my legs, my heart, my face,
my name is Driftwood.

when did this album come out? I remember hearing this song a looong time ago. Entirely forgot how great Cursive is.

The fact that you said not gay, was pretty gay.

I feel like my life was this song on replay for the longest time.

@sbu003 I have listened to it very carefully in my earphones since I actually own the album. A lot of it is psychobabble. It adds onto the feel of the song. Pretty wicked.

@xohmystephaniex i hate the fact some douche will of disliked it just because of your comment gr. this album was amazing, i remember seeing cursive in 2003 and there hasn't been a point when i've gotten sick of this album, particularly the recluse.

[xohmystephaniex]

[jthwdraco]

@manfl3sh It was released on vinyl in 2003 too. I have an LP of this album from when I was in college. I feel like I went to Amoeba to buy my copy just yesterday. I can't believe it was eight years ago already. I was going to poke fun at EZBruv saying that he heard this song "a looong time ago," but eight years is long enough. Time really does fly.

those whispering voices at the end of the song say some really twisted yet amazingly brilliant thoughts

@EZBruv it came out in 2003 and was rereleased on vinyl in 2010
