The Puppet Who Gave Himself Strings

Uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh
Uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh

You're playing London, name in lights
Exactly how we planned
Except you're spending all your nights
In your Stromboli's hands

I wonder when you're going to
Get the joke he's made of you
I wonder when you're going to
Get that you've been played

He tells you to dance, he tells you to sing
He picks the way you say you swing
And everyone laughs, it's the funniest thing
Look at the puppet who gave himself strings!

Uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh

Remember when you had a friend
A bunch of us, in fact
Until he chose to recommend
You stab us in the back

I wonder when you're going to
Get the joke he's made of you
I wonder when you're going to
Get that you've been played

He tells you to dance, he tells you to sing
He picks the way you say you swing
And everyone laughs, it's the funniest thing
Look at the puppet who gave himself strings!

Uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh
Look at the puppet who gave himself strings
Uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh
Look at the puppet who gave himself strings

You're a possession that he's acquired
A toy that's too dumb to see
He's gonna toss you on the fire
The same as you did me

I wonder when you're going to
Get the joke he's made of you
I wonder when you're going to
Get that you've been played

He tells you to dance, he tells you to sing
He picks the way you say you swing
And everyone laughs, it's the funniest thing
Look at the puppet who gave himself strings!

Uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh
Look at the puppet who gave himself strings
Uh-oh, uh-oh
Look at the puppet who gave himself strings
