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
