lyrics

My makers so proud
Creation for the world
big brown eyes
eye lashes to the sky
gentle and kind
forgiving
sanguine and wise...

I'm a marionette for you
dress me up
put on make up too
parade me around
for your friends to see
pull my strings
just don't let me be...
don't let me go

Hand to hand
I've traveled the world
home to home
they claim me as their own

But now times are changing
the moon receding
deserts abound where
waters once were found...

I'm a marionette for you
dress me up, put on make up too
parade me around
for your friends to see
pull my strings
just don't let me be...
don't let me go

In a trash heap
for no one to see
lonely as can be
what's to become of me

my strings they're all broken
clothes tattered and torn
my varnish is sullen
my hair has fallen
I'm unglued...

I'm a marionette for you
dress me up
put on make up too
parade me around
for your friends to see
pull my strings just do so...
gently
