Try and hold your ears the noise outside is terrible drunk and shooting out the lights inside your carnival A sad disaster A careless master Of a puppet in a clown show With twisted strings and vertigo On fingers known to never know the way On and on you dance along with every twitch and pull Lift you up and let you down and hang you out to go A sad disaster A careless master Of a puppet in a clown show With twisted strings and vertigo On fingers known to never know the way Oh hanging over It's so cold I'm frozen solid Going nowhere Faster than I ever through this wreck could go The driver bailed out long ago A puppet in a clown show With twisted strings and vertigo And brittle bones will break and blow away Seems so drastic Made of plastic A puppet in a clown show With twisted strings and vertigo On fingers known to never know And brittle bones will break and blow away
