Puppeteer Lyrics - Crosby & Nash

written by James Raymond 

look up my friend, see how the story ends 

there's nowhere to run to and nothing to stop you 

and no one to hold you down 

look up my friend, means justify the end 

there's nothing below you 

when the world falls away 

pull over to the shoulder 

i've got something to say to you 

it's not so elusive this golden frontier 

pull the strings puppeteer 

sometimes you get marooned 

with salt in every wound 

you watch as your own hands 

reach for the nightstand 

for something to bring you down 

look up my friend, the dead will soon ascend 

but everyone's even 

when the light fades away 

pull over to the shoulder 

i've got something to say to you 

it's not so elusive this golden frontier 

pull over to the shoulder 

i've got something to say to you 

this world can get colder this time of the year 

and love can disappear 

run you through like a spear 

pull the strings puppeteer
