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...

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...

You're so free

That's what everybody's telling me

Yet I feel I'm like an outward-bound,

pushed around, refugee
