I'm a marionette, just a marionette, pull the string
Look this way, just a little smile, is what they say
You're so free that's what everybody's telling me
Something's happening, I can't control, lost my hold, it's insane
I'm a marionette, I'm a marionette, just a silly old clown
I'm a marionette, everybody's pet, just as long as I sing
Can't complain, I've got no one but myself to blame
Something's wrong, got a feeling that I don't belong
I'm a marionette, see my pirouette, round and round
I'm a marionette, see my pirouette, round and round
I'm a marionette, everybody's pet, just as long as I sing
Like a doll, like a puppet with no will at all
I'm a marionette, everybody's pet, just as long as I sing
I'm a marionette, just a marionette, pull the string
I'm a marionette, just a marionette, pull the string
As if I have come from outer space, out of place, like King Kong
And somebody taught me how to talk, how to walk, how to fall
You look better on the photograph if you laugh, that's okay
I'm a marionette, I'm a marionette, just a silly old clown
I'm a marionette, I'm a marionette, just a silly old clown
I'm a marionette, see my pirouette, round and round
