you're so free
that's what everybody's tellin' me
yet i feel like i'm an outward bound
pushed around refuge
something's wrong
got a feeling that i don't belong
as if i have 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 o.k.!!
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 tellin' me
yet i feel like i'm an outward bound
pushed around refugee
