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