Puppet - Marionette Version

[Verse 1]

Let's make a girl to run the world

She'll sing on stage with graceful rage

Put her on a tour bus

Then teach her how to yell "Thank you, New York"

(Thank you, New York)

Then put her on a TV, have her selling pills, the skinny cure

(They told me I'm the one)

[Chorus]

Take my body, take all the air I breathe

Can't help myself but be a player on the team

A lion you want, but only in a cage

Can't help myself but be a puppet on your stage

[Verse 2]

What kind of hair? What kind of stare?

Should she be nice or cold as ice?

Build me like a Barbie

Then take me to a lobby in New York (Hello New York)

The forty second floor, I'm gonna be the perfect star, they're sure

(It's better if you're dumb)

[Chorus]

Take my body, take all the air I breathe

Can't help myself but be a player on the team

A lion you want, but only in a cage

Can't help myself but be a puppet on your stage

[Post-Chorus]

Take the things you want and burn the rest

What do I know? I'm a pretty mess

Move my mouth and swing me with a string

Dancing, laughing, smiling while I sing

[Bridge]

Will you save me?

'Cause I'm breakin'

Will you save me?

'Cause I'm breakin', I'm breakin'

I'm breakin', I'm breakin', ohhh

[Chorus]

Take my body, take all the air I breathe

Can't help myself but be a player on the team (Breaking, ohh)

A lion you want, but only in a cage

Can't help myself but be a puppet on your stage

[Outro]

Take the things you want and burn the rest

What do I know? I'm a pretty mess

Move my mouth and swing me with a string

Dancing, laughing, smiling while I sing
