Boy On A String

歌詞

The marionette has your number Pulling your arms and legs 'til you can't stand on your own Dragging your conscience on the stage and your heart gets rearranged, and you cannot tell your mentor from your Maker Look at the crowds bleeding with laughter Over the way you entertain at beckon call They don't see behind the lights or the painted backgrounds They just like to see you fall And you don't really mind And you're just wasting time And you don't feel anything You're a boy on a string I feel the sadness like Gapetto watching the life that he created run away, Seeing the puppeteer's intrusion and holding the remains of puppets that had rotted away One day the curtain will not open (will not open) And all of the crowds will go away (crowds will go away) Some times those strings will choke you But until that day And you don't really mind And you're just wasting time And you don't feel anything You're a boy on a string Just a boy, just a boy, just a boy... And you don't really mind And you're just wasting time And you don't feel anything You're a boy on a string 'Cause you don't really mind And you're just wasting time You don't feel anything You're a boy on a string Just a boy on a string
