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