Here comes your drunken marionette Dragging his mess of threads There at the bar pulling smoke to his lungs He says who will ignore me when you're gone? Now come on lift me up I wanna dance by your tin cup Tower of beauty with a split in your tongue Who will ignore me when you're gone? He says who will ignore me when you're gone? Here he cooooooomes Here he cooooooomes Be still the wooden heart That wouldn't ever part With the drunken marionette Been mainlining bad thoughts Been drinking things I wish I'd not Intoxicated with sad songs Who will forgive you when I'm gone? They sing auld lang syne I've got mutiny on my mind A guilty conscience means at least you've got one Who will forgive you when I'm gone? He says who will forgive you when I'm gone? Here he comes Here he comes Be still the wooden heart Who wouldn't ever part Waiting on a spark That hasn't happened yet For the drunken marionette Carry on Turn the lights on when you go In the hours left I hope you feel the things that i know I won't What you give is what you get I get so worried bout your debts Who carries evil out evil will come Who will defend you when I'm gone? He says who will defend you when I'm gone? Here he comes Here he comes Be still the wooden heart Wouldn't ever part Waiting on a spark That hasn't happened yet Here he comes Here he comes Be still the wooden heart That wouldn't ever part Waiting on a spark That hasn't happened yet For the drunken marionette
