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 have 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
