Hugh Cornwell - Puppets lyrics

Puppets dancing on a shoestring Saying yes when mother asks If your shoelace is tied Whose 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 x5 Puppets x8
