Marionette

Marionette - Mott The Hoople
No puppet no liar wont bend my lips to wire No
Dont pressurize me so
Dont gamble with my life or you wont live to do 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 youre like a giraffe the performance is poor
Watch the audience laugh as my head hits the floor
When Im broken in half you still reach for the floor
Stop
Ive had enough of this
The pantomimes reversed
I need you feed
I greed you bleed
I aint one yet
Well youd better forget it
I aint one yet
Go check your stocks and shares
And when the coffin comes make sure theres room for two
You lied I led
I died Youre dead
I aint one yet
Youd better forget it
I aint one yet
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 I wanna get out I wanna get
Out ahhhhh
Oh he wanna play chords to the chick on the street
He wanna play words to a world that dont speak
He wanna play people who play hide n seek when they dont talk
He wanna play a riff to the man with the wires
He wanna play lead but his hands getting tired
He just wanna play but dont know how to say stop
OK the shows been fun
But my woods begun to warp
They won Im done
New one begun
I did my best
It just couldnt last
Get me out of this mess
It happened so fast
Now I need a rest
Wheres my sanity gone Mother
I did my best
Im just like all the others
They gambled with my life
And now Ive lost my will to fight
Oh God these wires are so tight
Im just a marionette
