Lyrics

So he's lying on top again

Depicts someone in a dominant position or control, similar to Gepetto controlling his doll.

Just like Gepetto with his doll

Reference to Gepetto, who created and controlled Pinocchio; drawing a comparison to someone exerting control over another.

And he's running around the bend

The person is moving energetically, possibly in a circular or repetitive manner.

And I can't get him out of this house

Unable to remove this person from a situation or place.

And if you bore him, you'll lose your soul to him

Warning about the consequences of boring or not engaging this individual, as it may result in losing oneself or autonomy.


So that kid from the bad home came over my house again

A troubled individual from a difficult background visited again, causing damage.

Decapitated all my dolls

Destroyed possessions, similar to Gepetto's dolls being decapitated.

And if you bore me, you'll lose your soul to me

Similar warning to line 5, suggesting repercussions if one bores or fails to engage the speaker.


Hey Gepetto, where'd you put it?

Hey Gepetto, where'd you put it?

Oh, Gepetto, whoa whoa

And if you bore him, you're gonna lose your soul

Hey Gepetto, where'd you get to?

Oh, Gepetto, whoa whoa
