Hugh Cornwell, Robert Williams - 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
