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
