Pull the String Songtext
von Jonathan Coulton

Everybody knows you′re onto something, and they all want in
They don't know about the bad news you keep underneath your skin
And they think you′ve got it all figured out
But there's one thing you never talk about
It's a long time gone, but it never went away

Pull the string
And this whole thing′s coming down
Just pull the string

"Smile pretty, the camera loves you", that′s what they say
But there's a part of you that wishes they would all just go away
′Cause there's one small secret that′s bugging you
It would break their hearts if they only knew
There's a world outside, you can feel it coming in


Pull the string
And this whole thing′s coming down
Just pull the string

(Pull the string)
(Pull the string)
(Pull the string)
(Pull the...)

Call your lawyer, deny the rumours
But some lies are true
You can go there if you want to, when this ends is up to you
When you're ten miles up, and you're coming down
You won′t feel a thing when you hit the ground
You just come apart, and it′s like you never were

Pull the string
And this whole thing's coming down
Just pull the string
