Puppet On Strings

Intro - acoustic riff, 4 bars

Verse 1 - intimate, close mic, warm raspy

So much light, so many colors here,

You are laughing, you are silent,

In this world you're king, you're beggar too,

In a world of dolls - you're puppeteer.

Chorus - open chest voice, catchy, slight rasp, backing gang shouts

Puppet! In your hands,

Strings are tied around my feet,

Puppet! In your hands,

You make me dance down on the street.

Verse 2 - storytelling, add bass

Every day another show for you,

Every time they shout "Hurray!",

No more rules, just freedom, just a game,

And every day a new display.

Chorus - bigger, harmonies ooh

Puppet! In your hands,

Strings are tied around my feet,

Puppet! In your hands,

You pull them to your beat.

Bridge - whisper to powerful

And so's your life, and so's the songs,

You used to sing alone at the window...

Final Chorus - anthemic, electric solo

Puppet! In your hands...
