Puppets Songtext
von Hugh Cornwell & Robert Williams

Puppets dancing on a shoestring
Saying yes when mother asks
If your shoelace is tied
Who′s 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
Changing places playing aces puppets
Changing places playing aces puppets
Changing places playing aces puppets
Changing places playing aces puppets


Puppets, puppets
Puppets, puppets
Puppets, puppets
Puppets, puppets
