Toyah - Marionette Lyrics
Have gone to warOxygen drunkFall bleeding to the floorGlass eyed creaturesFragmented featuresPiecing togetherFallen warriorsA revolutionFor the maiden queen(And I can see)Sherwood ForestOr an African sceneThe MarionetteShe has velvet clawsShe pulls the stringsIn this city of whoresThe Marionette pulls the stringsYou say "yes"You bend, she winsThe Marionette pulls the stringsPulls and pulls'Til your spirit gives inGruelling hot sweatIn the land of a whoreOh, will this be war?Oh, will this be war?The knave and the pawnRipen the whoreWith bastard sonsHer brats of lawThe hawk and the falconSwoop to blind their eyesThe reaper, she laughsShe chokes, she criesThe Marionette pulls the stringsYou say "yes"You bend, she winsThe Marionette pulls the stringsPulls and pulls'Til your spirit gives inFoaming white horsesCracking their sinewsFor the Maidens of TroyThe bell tower fallsPouring to the floorWhoa, love and death,A climax all in allMedieval shores and madrigalsHer velvet clawsPull you with passion to her floorIn the cathedralHer children singIn the cathedralThe pendulum swingsThe Marionette pulls the stringsYou say "yes"You bend, she winsThe Marionette pulls the stringsPulls and pulls'Til your spirit gives inThe Marionette pulls the stringsYou say "yes"You bend, she winsThe Marionette pulls the stringsPulls and pulls'Til your spirit gives in
