The easy, fast & fun way to learn how to sing: 30DaySinger.com
The marionette has your number He's pulling your arms and legs 'Til you can't stand on your own Dragging your conscience on the stage And your heart gets rearranged And you cannot tell you mentor From you Maker Look at the crowd bleeding with laughter Or the way you entertain at beckon call They don't see behind the lights Or the painted background They just like to see you fall [Chorus] But you don't really mind And you're just wasting time You don't feel anything You're a boy on a string I feel a sadness like Gapetto Watching the life that he created run away Seeing the puppeteer's intrusion And holding the remains Of puppets that had rotted away One day the curtain will not open And all of the crowds will go away Crowds will go away (sung in background) Someday those strings will choke you But until that day [Chorus] Just a boy Just a boy Just a boy Just a boy [Chorus: x2] Just a boy on a string
