The Puppet Lyrics - Songs To Learn And Sing - Echo & The Bunnymen

I'll practice my fall 

For practice makes perfect 

Chained to the wall 

For maximum hold 

The window's too far 

Too far from my legs 

Open the door and let out the cold 

You knew about this 

With your head in your hands 

All along 

I was the puppet 

I was the puppet 

Trampolines broken 

Ceiling has come down 

The ache in my back tells me 

Something's gone wrong 

Rocking horse rocks 

As the wallpaper peels 

Curtain would like to know 

What he has done 

You knew about this 

With your head in your hands 

All along 

I was the puppet 

I was the puppet 

We're the salt of the earth 

(I'll practice my fall for practice makes erfect) And we know what to say 

(Chained to the wall for maximum hold) 

We're the salt of the earth 

(The window's too far too far from my legs) 

And we know our place 

(Open the door and let out the cold) 

You knew about this 

With your head in your hands 

All along 

I was the puppet 

I was the puppet 

All along 

(You knew about this) 

With your head in your hands 

All along 

(You knew about this) 

I was the puppet 

I was the puppet 

(You knew about this) 

Head in your hands 

(You knew about this) 

I was the puppet 

I was the puppet 

(We're the salt of the earth) 

You knew about this 

(We know what to say) 

Your head in your hands 

(We're the salt of the earth) 

All along 

((You knew about this)) 

(We know our place) 

I was the puppet 

(We're the salt of the earth) 

All along 

(We know what to say) 

((You knew about this)) 

Your head in your hands 

(We're the salt of the earth) 

I was the puppet 

((You knew about this)) 

(We know what to say) 

I was the puppet
