Marionette - Julia Church

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
