lyrics

I’m so thin lying on the soiled ground, got the covers over my eyes.
The battle’s over, now it’s two for two but we’re far from ending this war
We’ve been dancing around the point of no return
Even Jack and Sally can’t pretend that their kisses haven’t turned cold

My woodwork’s working to withstand the hot and the cold and the bending so close to breaking under
The pull of you

Keep pullin’ my strings, I dare you to
Keep makin’ me dance like I’m your fool
It's goin’ your way, I do what you do
Now I’m cutting the strings,
You master puppeteer

My knees are knockin’ as I push myself up, learning to walk on my own
My shadow painted on the white marble wall whispers inside of my ear,
“There’s a choir in the old chapel downtown, they echo just what they hear.”
Hey you, witch doctor, give the people, people their voices back.

Keep pullin’ my strings, I dare you to
Keep makin’ me dance like I’m your fool
It's goin’ your way, I do what you do
Now I’m cutting the strings,
You master puppeteer

You might try voo-doo
You may send the flood but…

You are never ever, sure as evergreen
Ever gonna get back with me
You are never ever, sure as evergreen
Ever gonna get back with me.

Keep pullin’ my strings, I dare you to
Keep makin’ me dance like I’m your fool
It's goin’ your way, I do what you do
Now I’m cutting the strings,
You master puppeteer

You master puppeteer
