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
