You Happy Puppet (LP Version)
How did they teach you to beJust a happy puppet dancing on a string?How did you learn everythingThat comes along with slavish funnery?
Tell me something, if the world is so insaneIs it making you sane again toLet another man tug at the threadThat pulls up your nodding head?
How did they teach you to beJust a happy puppet dancing on a string?How do you manage to liveInside this tiny stage you can't leave?
Tell me something, if the world is so insaneIs it making you sane again toLet another man tug at the threadThat pulls up your nodding head?
A dullard strung on the wireWhen the master's gone, you hang thereWith your eyes and your limbs so lifeless
Tell me something, if the world is so insaneIs it making you sane again toLet another man tug at the threadThat pulls up your nodding head?
How did they teach you to beJust a happy puppet dancing on a string?How do you manage to speakYour mouth a frozen grin?
A dullard strung on the wireWhen the master's gone, you hang thereWith your eyes and your limbs so lifeless
Tell me something, if the world is so insaneIs it making you sane again toLet another man tug at the threadThat pulls up your empty wooden head?
Your hollow head, your marble eyesYour wooden hands and your metal jaw pinsAll wait in limbo for the manWho knows how to move you this way
