Boy On A String
(专辑: Jars Of Clay - 1995)
Four Marionette has your number He's pulling your arms and legs 'til you can't stand on your own Dragging your conscience on the
stage and your heart gets rearranged Cannot tell your mentor from your Maker Look at the
crowd bleating with laughter Over the
way you entertain at beck and call They don't see behind the
lights or the
painted background They just like to see you fall And you don't really mind And you're just wasting time And you don't feel anything You're a
boy on a
string I
feel the
sadness like Geppetto Watching the
life that he created run away Seeing the
puppeteer's intrusion and holding the
remains Of puppets that had rotted away One day the
curtain will not open (will not open) And all of the
crowds will go away (crowds will go away) Sometimes those strings will choke you But until that day No, you won't really mind And you're just wasting time And you don't feel anything You're a
boy on a
string Just a
boy, just a
boy, just a
boy, just a
boy Just a
boy, just a
boy, just a
boy, just a
boy Just a
boy, just a
boy, just a
boy, just a
boy Just a
boy, just a
boy, just a
boy, just a
boy Just a
boy, just a
boy, just a
boy, just a
boy And you don't really mind And you're just wasting time And you don't feel anything You're a
boy on a
string 'Cause you don't really mind And you're just wasting time You don't feel anything You're a
boy on a
string Just a
boy on a
string
