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 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`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 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
