I'm a Marionette

(Iak–Iak–Iak–Iak–Iak–Iak–Sakkak)

"You're so free"
That's what everybody's telling me
Yet I feel I'm like an outward-bound
Pushed around, refugee something's wrong
Got a feeling that I don't belong
As if I had come from outer space
Out of place, like King Kong

I'm a marionette, just a marionette
Pull the string
I'm a marionette, everybody's pet
Just as long as I sing
I'm a marionette, see my pirouette
Round and round
I'm a marionette, I'm a marionette
Just a silly old clown

Like a doll
Like a puppet with no will at all
And somebody told me how to talk
How to walk, how to fall can't complain
I've got no-one but myself to blame
Something's happening I can't control
Lost my hold, it's insane

I'm a marionette, just a marionette
Pull the string
I'm a marionette, everybody's pet
Just as long as I sing
I'm a marionette, see my pirouette
Round and round
I'm a marionette, I'm a marionette
Just a silly old clown

"Look this way
Just a little smile, " is what they say
"You look better on the photograph
If you laugh, that's okay" "You're so free"
That's what everybody's telling me
Yet I feel I'm like an outward-bound
Pushed around, refugee

I'm a marionette, just a marionette
Pull the string
I'm a marionette, everybody's pet
Just as long as I sing
I'm a marionette, see my pirouette
Round and round
I'm a marionette, I'm a marionette
Just a silly old clown
