Boy On A String Lyrics - Jars Of Clay - Jars Of Clay

Ha, ha, ha 

Four 

Marionett has your number 

Its pulling your arms and legs till you can't stand on your own 

Draggin' your conscience on the stage 

And your heart gets rearranged 

You cannot tell your mentor from your maker 

Look at the crowd bleeding with laughter 

Over the way you entertain at beck and call 

They don't see behind the lights 

Or the painted background 

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 

Feel a sadness like Gapetto 

Watchin' the life that he created run away 

Seein' the puppeteer's intrusion 

And holdin' over 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) 

Sometimes those strings will choke you, but until that day 

(Sometime) 

(Until that day) 

Well you won't really mind 

And you're just wasting time 

You don't feel anything 

You're a boy on a string 

It's the boy, it's the boy, it's the boy, it's the boy 

It's the boy, it's the boy, it's the boy, it's the boy 

It's the boy, it's the boy, it's the boy, it's the boy 

It's the boy, it's the boy, it's the boy, it's the boy 

It's the boy, it's the boy, it's the boy, it's the 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 

And 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
