Songtext Marionette Soul Asylum

Marionette

Marionette I havent met you yet
I hear youre good I hear youre made out of wood
Not quite as blind as you might think shed be
____________ they run as deep as a tree

And they cut off your wings and replaced them with strings
Now the strings attach to everything
Its 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
They pull the strings and then they string you along

And they cut off your wings and replaced them with strings
Now the strings attach to everything
Its twisted and tangled but Ive got an angle
On just what makes you swing
Hanging by a string

Know the boss he makes her do things his way
So why do you think shes so scared of you
What do you think makes her that way
When push comes to shove shell push and shove

It doesnt always have to be this way
Shes saving up for a vacation somewhere

Why do you think shes so scared of you
What do you think makes her that way
When push comes to shove shell push and shove
Its very hard work when you dont get paid

And they cut off your wings and replaced them with strings
