[00:17.603]"You're so free," that's what everybody's telling me
[00:23.844]Yet I feel I'm like an outward-bound, pushed around, refugee
[00:31.062]Something's wrong, got a feeling that I don't belong
[00:37.297]As if I had come from outer space, out of place, like King Kong
[00:43.916]
[00:44.635]I'm a marionette, just a marionette, pull the string
[00:50.472]I'm a marionette, everybody's pet, just as long as I sing
[00:57.044]I'm a marionette, see my pirouette, round and round
[01:02.951]I'm a marionette, I'm a marionette, just a silly old clown
[01:08.880]
[01:18.041]Like a doll, like a puppet with no will at all
[01:24.350]And somebody told me how to talk, how to walk, how to fall
[01:30.719]
[01:31.902]Can't complain, I've got no-one but myself to blame
[01:37.686]Something's happening I can't control, lost my hold, is it safe?
[01:44.340]
[01:45.025]I'm a marionette, just a marionette, pull the string
[01:51.023]I'm a marionette, everybody's pet, just as long as I sing
[01:57.531]I'm a marionette, see my pirouette, round and round
[02:03.340]I'm a marionette, I'm a marionette, just a silly old clown
[02:09.305]
[03:11.580]"Look this way, just a little smile," is what they say
[03:17.686]"You look better on the photograph if you laugh, that's okay"
[03:24.761]"You're so free," that's what everybody's telling me
[03:31.149]Yet I feel I'm like an outward-bound, pushed around, refugee
[03:37.587]
[03:38.536]I'm a marionette, just a marionette, pull the string
[03:44.192]I'm a marionette, everybody's pet, just as long as I sing
[03:50.820]I'm a marionette, see my pirouette, round and round
[03:56.785]I'm a marionette, I'm a marionette, just a silly old clown
