Just a happy puppet dancing on a string
Bbmaj7          Fmaj7
How did you learn everything that
Bbmaj7                              Fmaj7
Comes along with slavish funnery?

C                                      Dm
Tell me something if the world is so insane
Am7                    F
Is it making you sane again to...
C                  Dm
Let another man tug at the thread
         Am7                           F
That pulls up your nodding head?

This tiny stage you can't leave?

    Bb                               F
A dullard strung on the wire

When the master's gone, you hang there

With your eyes and your limbs so lifeless

Your mouth a frozen grin?

Your hollowed head, your marble eyes

Your wooden hands and your metal jawpins
C                 Dm
All wait in limbo for the man
          Am7                C                    F
Who knows how to move you this way
