Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You're so free
That's what everybody's telling me
Yet I feel I'm like an outward bound
Pushed-around refugee
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
Like a doll
Like a puppet with no will at all
And somebody taught me how to talk
How to walk, how to fall
[Verse 5]
Can't complain
I've got no one but myself to blame
Something's happening I can't control
Lost my home, it's insane
[Verse 6]
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
[Verse 7]
Look this way
Just a little smile is what they say
You'll look better on the photograph
If you laugh that's okay
[Verse 8]
You're so free
That's what everybody's telling me
Yet I feel I'm like an outward bound
Pushed-around refugee
[Verse 9]
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
