THE WAKE OF THE WOODEN PUPPET song lyrics
by Joel Sattler

it only made sense as a dream
it only made sense as a dream
when I woke up and thought about it
it wasn't at all what it seemed
it only made sense as a dream

the hunter had a brand new gun
but he wasn't very smart
he took aim at the marionette
the puppet was shot through the heart

the lion saw what he had done
and ripped off his arrogant head
the body got up and joined the fun
and joined the parade of the walking dead

punch and judy they held a wake
the ventriloquist went in a trance
the orchestra thought it was just a mistake
as the audience got up to dance

so they played a mazurka upon his bones
and the maestro he started to sing
the corpses were rendered to Davy Jones
as the church bells all started to ring

and when I woke up I tried so hard
to understand what it all meant
the answer I got was so bizarre
it had to be fraudulent

it only made sense as a dream
it only made sense as a dream
when I woke up and thought about it
it wasn't what it should have been
it only made sense as a dream
