Aus dem Album "The Album" veröffentlicht im Dezember 1977.

"You're so free, " that's what everybody's telling me,
yet I feel I'm like an outward-bound, pushed around, refugee.
Something's wrong, got a feeling that I don't belong,
as if I have come from outer space, out of place, like King Kong.
I'm a marionette, just a marionette, pull the string.
I'm a marionette, everybody's pet, just as long as I sing.
I'm a marionette, see my pirouette, round and round.
I'm a marionette, I'm a marionette, just a silly old clown.
Like a doll, like a puppet with no will at all,
and somebody taught me how to talk, how to walk, how to fall.
Can't complain, I've got no one but myself to blame,
something's happening, I can't control, lost my hold, is it safe?
I'm a marionette, just a marionette, pull the string.
I'm a marionette, everybody's pet, just as long as I sing.
I'm a marionette, see my pirouette, round and round.
I'm a marionette, I'm a marionette, just a silly old clown.
"Look this way, just a little smile, " is what they say.
"You look better on the photograph if you laugh, that's okay".
I'm a marionette, just a marionette, pull the string.
I'm a marionette, everybody's pet, just as long as I sing.
I'm a marionette, see my pirouette, round and round.
I'm a marionette, I'm a marionette, just a silly old clown.
"You're so free, " that's what everybody's telling me,
yet I feel I'm like an outward-bound, pushed around, refugee.
