"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
