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
