Lyrics Marionette - Julia Church

Marionette

Dress me up, pull the wires
Before they rust
‘Cause I feel no fire
Just see a match
Glued to the bed
Like a lovelorn marionette
Oh, I’m a liar
There are strings attached
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
I wanna be timeless
Ticking away, I’m feeling
Although more lifeless
Why am I like this?
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
Why am I?
Why am I?
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
Why am I like this?
I wanna be easy
But not in the way he wants me
But never needs me
Too ready to leave me
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
Ready to, ready to
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
Ready to leave me
Star of the show
Take me where you wanna go
Unweave my lines
With my eyes shut
Silver and red
Little hearts of marionette
I’ll be just fine
I’ll live without your love
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
I wanna be timeless
Ticking away, I’m feeling
Although more lifeless
Why am I like this?
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
Why am I?
Why am I?
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
Why am I like this?
I wanna be easy
But not in the way he wants me
But never needs me
Too ready to leave me
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
Ready to, ready to
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
Ready to leave me
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
Why am I?
Why am I?
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
I wanna be timeless
Ticking away, I’m feeling
Although more lifeless
Why am I like this?
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
Why am I?
Why am I?
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
Why am I like this?
I wanna be easy
But not in the way he wants me
But never needs me
Too ready to leave me
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
Ready to, ready to
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
