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 had 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 told 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'll 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
