I'm A Marionette Lyrics
Ghost
Lyrics
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 strings
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, just a marionette, pull the strings
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
You're so free that's what everybody's telling me
Yet I feel I'm like an outward-bound, pushed around refugee
I'm a marionette, just a marionette, pull the strings
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
