Marionette Lyrics - Hang Time - Soul Asylum

Marionette, I haven't met you yet 

I hear you're good, I hear you're made out of wood 

Not quite as blind as you might think she'd be 

[Unverified] they run as deep as a tree 

And they cut off your wings and replaced them with strings 

Now the strings attach to everything 

It's twisted and tangled and troubled with anger 

But somehow you still swing 

Tried all my trick, I tried to steal a kiss 

Splinters and slivers stuck all over my lips 

She thinks she must be doing something wrong 

They pull the strings and then they string you along 

And they cut off your wings and replaced them with strings 

Now the strings attach to everything 

It's twisted and tangled but I've got an angle 

On just what makes you swing, hanging by a string 

[Unverified] 

She is wearing thin 

She's up to [unverified] sometimes [unverified] 

Know the boss he makes her do things his way 

So why do you think she's so scared of you 

What do you think makes her that way? 

When push comes to shove she'll push and shove 

It doesn't always have to be this way 

She's saving up for a vacation somewhere 

Why do you think she's so scared of you 

What do you think makes her that way? 

When push comes to shove she'll push and shove 

It's very hard work when you don't get paid 

And they cut off your wings and replaced them with strings
