\"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 had 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 told 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, is it safe?
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
