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 Her roots are deep, 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 Hair-pullin' 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 workin' sometimes fours a day No, the boss he makes her do things his way So why do you think she's so scared of ya 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 savin' 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 ya It's very hard work when you don't get paid And they cut off your wings and replaced them with strings
