Go to the Movie

It's like what happens at the beginning of
The story of Pinocchio is that Jepetto wishes on a star
So what Jepetto does is align himself
With the metaphorical manifestation
Of the highest good he can conceptualize
He aims at the star
For him, the star is the possibility that he can take his creation
A puppet whose strings are being pulled by unseen forces
And have it transform into something that's autonomous and real
Well, that's a hell of an ambition
You know and we're wise enough to put that into a children's movie
But too foolish to understand what it means
It's such an interesting juxtaposition that we can both know that
And not know it at the same time

You can go to the movie, you can watch it and it makes sense
But that doesn't mean that you can go home
And think, "Well, I know what that meant"
You can go to the movie, you can watch it and it makes sense
But that doesn't mean that you can go home
And think, "Well, I know what that meant"
You can go to the movie, you can watch it and it makes sense
But that doesn't mean that you can go home
And think, "Well, I know what that meant"
You can go to the movie, you can watch it and it makes sense
But that doesn't mean that you can go home
And think, "Well, I know what that meant"

Well, people are complicated, right? We exist at different levels
And all the levels don't communicate with one another
But the movie is a hypothesis, and the hypothesis is
There's no better pathway to self-realization
And the ennoblement of being
Then to posit the highest good that
You can conceive of and commit yourself to it

You can go to the movie, you can watch it and it makes sense
But that doesn't mean that you can go home
And think, "Well, I know what that meant"
You can go to the movie, you can watch it and it makes sense
But that doesn't mean that you can go home
And think, "Well, I know what that meant"
You can go to the movie, you can watch it and it makes sense
But that doesn't mean that you can go home
And think, "Well, I know what that meant"
You can go to the movie, you can watch it and it makes sense
But that doesn't mean that you can go home
And think, "Well, I know what that meant"

You can go to the movie, you can watch it and it makes sense
But that doesn't mean that you can go home
And think, "Well, I know what that meant"
You can go to the movie, you can watch it and it makes sense
But that doesn't mean that you can go home
And think, "Well, I know what that meant"

I know what that meant
I know what that meant
I know what that meant
I know what that meant

There's no better pathway to self-realization
And the ennoblement of being
Then to posit the highest good that
You could conceive of, and commit yourself to it

I know what that meant
I know what that meant
I know what that meant
I know what that meant

And then you might also ask yourself
And this is definitely worth asking is
Do you really have anything better to do?
And if you don't, well, why would you do anything else?
