Jane Siberry Puppet City Lyrics

Puppet City Lyrics

I couldn`t believe it 
when you said you didn`t care 
if people used you 
or people stole from you 
you said - nothing lasts forever 
nothing to do with you 
then you say  
 
come to me if you can be quiet 
come little one 
if you can be still 
you say - there`s so much more to do 
than get caught up on every issue 
it`s puppet city out there truly  
 
I couldn`t believe it 
when you said you had no feelings 
of love or hate or anything dramatic 
not jealousy or pride 
you said you`d set these things aside 
then you say  
 
come to me...  
 
I couldn`t believe it 
when you said I had been programmed 
to miss you when you go away 
to be indignant when you stay away 
to worry about things the proper length of time 
well-taught emotionally  
 
girl does this - tell her it`s wrong 
that`s the thing to do 
girl does that - tell her it`s wrong 
that`s the thing to do 
if you love them you need them 
so stop trying to free them 
that`s the thing to do 
that`s not the thing to do  
 
I couldn`t believe it 
when you said you needed no one 
you`re a stubborn man 
I think you`re antisocial 
whatever that is 
you`re supposed to care about your brother 
it`s not right to be so cold  
 
come to me if you can be quiet 
come little one 
if you can be still 
you say - there`s so much more to do 
than get caught up on every issue 
it`s puppet city out there truly
