I’m a Marionette

Lyrics

[Verse 1] "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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] Like a doll, like a puppet with no will at all And somebody taught me how to talk, how to walk, how to fall [Instrumental Interlude] [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 4] "Look this way, just a little smile," is what they say "You look better on the photograph if you laugh, that's okay" [Chorus] 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 [Outro] "You're so free," that's what everybody's telling me Yet, I feel I'm like an outward-bound, pushed around, refugee
