I'm A Marionette
"You're so free", that's what everybody's telling meYet I feel I'm like an outward-bound, pushed around, refugeeSomething's wrong, got a feeling that I don't belongAs if I had come from outer space, out of place, like King Kong
I'm a marionette, just a marionette, pull the stringI'm a marionette, everybody's pet, just as long as I singI'm a marionette, see my pirouette, round and roundI'm a marionette, I'm a marionette, just a silly old clown
Like a doll, like a puppet with no will at allAnd somebody told me how to talk, how to walk, how to fall
Can't complain, I've got no-one but myself to blameSomething's happening I can't control, lost my hold, is it safe?
I'm a marionette, just a marionette, pull the stringI'm a marionette, everybody's pet, just as long as I singI'm a marionette, see my pirouette, round and roundI'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 stringI'm a marionette, everybody's pet, just as long as I singI'm a marionette, see my pirouette, round and roundI'm a marionette, I'm a marionette, just a silly old clown
"You're so free", that's what everybody's telling meYet I feel I'm like an outward-bound, pushed around, refugee
