Joseph Arthur Puppets Lyrics

Puppets Lyrics

Give less than I take 

Dream you up as anything 

I have no memory 

Every moment, eternally 



I wanna try 

To get away from everybody else 

To get away from everybody else 



I cut myself 

But no blood came 

And no one helped 

Strings that we can't see 

Puppet you 

And puppet me 



I wanna try 

To get away from everybody else 

To get away from everybody else 



And you don't know 

What its like to try 

To change where you go 

And break the lie 

And you never show 

What its like inside 

To raise your (nose?) 

And break your pride 



Hearts crack like canes 

As children break the spider's legs 

Strays out in our yards 

Of buried bones and boulevards 



I wanna try 

To get away from everybody else 

To get away from everybody else
