Hugh Cornwell - Puppets lyrics

Puppets dancing on a shoestring

Saying yes when mother asks

If your shoelace is tied

Whose holding the strings?

Who dangles taut bow strings?

Resin redundant

They dance by themselves

They whine and soar and soar and seesaw

Mime and pretend to speak

On the seesaw back and forth back and forth

On the swing of words in print

Footprints in paper money

Telling you the route

But in the root of the matter

Greenie pays the bills

Greenie gets the pills

Puppets in the air in the air

Changing places playing aces puppets x5

Puppets x8
