Puppet Theatre

One more night in the puppet theatre

And I'm dancing on a string

One more pawn for the puppet master

The lines are drawn, the hook is in

And they use me

For a plaything

But I'm crying (Real tears)

In an ocean of gold

We are half of a million people

And our limbs have lost control

And we play the machines a dozen at a time

The only song we know

One more night in the puppet theatre

And I'm dancing on a string

One more pawn for the puppet master

The lines are drawn, the hook is in

Same old night in the puppet theatre

Same old dancing on a string

One more pawn for the puppet master

Can't take it any more, the hook is in

In the surgery of the open heart

There's a soldier on every fader

And a madman in control

And he played the machine for hours at a time

The only song he knows

One more night in the puppet theatre

And I'm dancing on a string

One more pawn for the puppet master

Can't take it anymore (The hook is in)

So I wound up alone on the dance floor

And a laser hit me in the eye

I began to feel my body dissolving

Melting in a pool of light

And they need me

For a plaything

But I'm crying

(Real tears, real tears, real tears, real tears)

One more night in the puppet theatre

And I'm dancing on a string

One more pawn for the Muppet pastor

Can't take it anymore, the hook is in

Same old night in the puppet theatre

Same old dancing on a string

One more pawn for the puppet master

Can't take it anymore! (The hook is in)

One more night in the puppet theatre

And I'm dancing on a string

One more pawn for the Muppet pastor
