Marionette

Marionette I haven't met you yet

I hear you're good I hear you're made out of wood

Not quite as blind as you might think she'd be

They run as deep as a tree



And they cut off your wings and replaced them with strings

Now the strings attach to everything

It's twisted and tangled and troubled with anger

But somehow you still swing



Tried all my tricks I tried to steal a kiss

Splinters and slivers stuck all over my lips

She thinks she must be doing something wrong

They pull the strings and then they string you along



And they cut off your wings and replaced them with strings

Now the strings attach to everything

It's twisted and tangled but I've got an angle

On just what makes you swing

Hanging by a string



She is wearing thin



She's up to ________________ sometimes _________________________

Know the boss he makes her do things his way

So why do you think she's so scared of you

What do you think makes her that way

When push comes to shove she'll push and shove



It doesn't always have to be this way

She's saving up for a vacation somewhere



Why do you think she's so scared of you

What do you think makes her that way

When push comes to shove she'll push and shove

It's very hard work when you don't get paid



And they cut off your wings and replaced them with strings
