Stone cold Marionette
Keep your strings away
You watch me struggle and strain
I'm just your toy today
Your lips don't move
Your eyes don't blink
I saw you scheming with my bones
Now I'll never get away
Stone cold Marionette
I'm not your song to sing
You tug my heart to your hullabaloo
And then again to your subtle swing
We swing all day
We swing all night
And when the dance is finally done
You mime "again 'til you get it right"
I finally see the slacking of the pull
The rhythm fades away
I stumble towards my hollowed heart
But something keeps my body at bay
She screams "You're my Marionette!"
A picturesque display
You mean nothing to me
A single rose in a full bouquet
My lips don't move
My eyes don't blink
My silhouette is now a shell
For your body to parade
