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
