puppet on a string - all that i am
pull a little harder and watch me dance
i can't control what i can't understand - for now
everybody wants you to fit with their plans
some want the cynical and some want romance
some want the chemicals to bring on a trance - for now
at night i rest, at night i sleep
the whole world turns around
i pray the lord my soul to keep
until it comes around again

puppet on a string - all that i am
everybody wants me to fit with their plan
i can't control what i don't understand - for now
some want the cynical and some want romance
some want the chemicals to bring on a trance
fate oscillator making crazy demands - for now

at night i rest, at night i sleep
the whole world turns around
i pray the lord my soul to keep
until it comes around again

puppet on a string - all that i am
puppet on a string - watch me dance
puppet on a string - it's out of my hands - for now
puppet on a string - all that i am
puppet on a string - watch me dance
puppet on a string - it's out of my hands - for now
