about

Pinocchio days are those delusional fantasies where we live by received wisdom. There's a surreal side to these lyrics. For an early work the chord progressions are quite complex.

lyrics

If you want strawberries you gotta work on the farm
little work people can't do you no harm
varied assortments of berries and herbs
free to the picker who can carry their own

Mary and Helen left for their town place
waving a banner proclaiming the state
of their minds to be true selves to be free
the pickers were occupied heavy their loads
they didn't have time for the game

you can guide on you will see
you can carry on without me

Marvin left for Trinidad seems he lost his way
guide on Marvin craft built of clay
fragile as magic nubile as light drifting with the current and marking the day

sail past the pickers nod as they weep carrying their bundles of barley and wheat
cakes in the sun nearby the sea off-spring run gaily Pinocchio days spurring our steed with a word

you can carry on you can be
you can carry on without me
