"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, is it safe?
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 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
