Lyrics

PUPPET STRINGS

VERSE:
Your champagne is laced
With just a faint bouquet of Semtex
Just for effect
There?s nothing strange I guess
I?m just another of your rejects
Can we connect

CHORUS:
Is it so surprising we?re reverting to our older ways
Acting out the remnants of an overpublicized malaise
Don?t you know John Lennon?s mouth
Moves on puppet strings these days

VERSE:
In your diet coke I taste
Just the slightest hint of strychnine
With a twist of lime
Is this a joke or are you
Trying to come across as sublime
Ahead of your time

CHORUS:
Is it so surprising we?re reverting to our older ways
Acting out the remnants of an overpublicized malaise
Don?t you know John Lennon?s mouth
Moves on puppet strings these days

VERSE:
In your embrace I detect
Just a little touch of malice
Hand in fist
But in case I?m misinformed
Are you simply acting callous
And twice dismissed

CHORUS:
Is it so surprising we?re reverting to our older ways
Acting out the remnants of an overpublicized malaise
Don?t you know John Lennon?s mouth
Moves on puppet strings these days
