I’m a Marionette
"You're so free" that's what
Everybody's telling me
Yet I feel I'm like an outward-bound
Pushed around refugee something's wrong
Got a feeling that I don't belong
As if I had come from
Outer space, out of place, like King Kong
I'm a marionette, just a marionette
Pull the string
I'm a marionette, everybody's pet
Just as long as I sing
I'm a marionette, see my pirouette
Round and round
I'm a marionette, I'm a marionette
Just a silly old clown
Like a doll
Like a puppet with no will at all
And somebody taught me how to
Talk, how to walk, how to fall
Can't complain
I've got no-one but myself to blame
Something's happening I can't control
Lost my hold, it's insane
I'm a marionette, just a marionette
Pull the string
I'm a marionette, everybody's pet
Just as long as I sing
I'm a marionette, see my pirouette
Round and round
I'm a marionette, I'm a marionette
Just a silly old clown
"Look this way
Just a little smile" is what they say
"You look better on the
Photograph if you laugh, that's okay"
I'm a marionette, just a marionette
Pull the string
I'm a marionette, everybody's pet
Just as long as I sing
I'm a marionette, see my pirouette
Round and round
I'm a marionette, I'm a marionette
Just a silly old clown
"You're so free" that's what
Everybody's telling me yet I feel I'm like
An outward-bound, pushed around, refugee
