Puppet of Wax, Puppet of Song lyrics

I'm a puppet made of wax

A puppet made out of songs

The sounds that are etched in my heart are strong

Puppet of wax a puppet of song

Am I better off in fact

Than a mannequin in a salon?

Life through a rose-coloured delusion

Puppet of wax a puppet of song

(REF)

My records have a mirror sheen

In which everyone can see me

I'm everywhere at the same time

My voice is smashed to smithereens

Round me I hear the wise-cracks

From puppets wearing chiffon

But they're the ones dancing to all my songs

Puppets of wax puppets of song

They let themselves overreact

For any silly reason

The words in their love songs are simply wrong

Puppets of wax a puppets of song

(INTERLUDE)

(REF)

Sometimes I just can't relax

Thinking, what's the reason

To sing about love but with no passion

With no idea what's going on

I'm just a puppet of wax

Just a puppet of song

Under the sun with my hair of blonde

Puppet of wax a puppet of song

One day I'll live life like it is in songs

Puppet of wax a puppet of song

I'll know about love and what's going on

Puppet of wax puppet of song
