They gambled, with my life
Stop, okay, the show's been fun
Oh, he wanna play chords to the chick on the street
New one, begun
Teacher's pet, go check your stocks and shares
Marionette, I did my best
He wanna play words to a world that don't speak
Teacher's pet, well, you'd better forget it
When I'm broken in half you still reach for the floor
All dressed in black so nobody sees you
Marionette, I ain't one yet
Marionette, now I need a rest
Teacher's little pet, it happened so fast
Don't gamble, with my life or you won't live to do it twice
Marionette, I did my best
Teacher's little pet, I'm just like all the others
Oh, take some good advice from me and let the wires rock
A traitor, deceiver, a groovy disbeliever I thought
I wanna get out
Oh God these wires are so tight
Teacher's pet, you'd better forget it
Make sure there's room for two
Who are you?
Smile in the wings, tell me I please you
Teacher's pet, where's my sanity gone mother?
I died, you're dead
Teacher's pet, go check your product
Creator, conceiver, romantic love receiver, caught
Call me a king and watch for the woodworm to choke me
The pantomime's reversed
Marionette, get me out of this mess
You lied, I led
Marionette, I ain't one yet
I wanna get out, I wanna get out
Marionette, I ain't one yet
Marionette, I ain't one yet
The nerve
He wanna play a riff to the man with the wires
Teacher's pet, it just couldn't last
And you're like a giraffe, the performance is poor
And when the coffin comes
But my wood's begun to warp
He wanna play people who play hide n' seek when they don't talk
I greed, you bleed
They won, I'm done
And now I've lost my will to fight
He just wanna play but don't know how to say
Watch the audience laugh as my head hits the floor
A puppet was a thing cheap taught, no way
He wanna play lead but his hand's getting tired
Stop, I've had enough of this
I need, you feed
I wanna get out, I wanna get out
