I'm a marionetteYou'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 out of 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 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 OK!!
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
