[Verse 1]

The sun was setting in the sky

It was time for me to leave

I could find my shoes

But I couldn't find my feet

Candlelit dinner

Swimming with the sharks

Wind blew through the window

Now I sit here in the dark

And I can just sit here and do nothing

While you keep pulling on my puppet strings

[Verse 2]

Metal detectors beeping

I couldn't fall asleep

But why should I be sleeping?

I have all this time to keep

Staring at the wall

Counting down the hours

'Cause my clock keeps flashing 12 o'clock

Ever since I lost my power

And in the morning, the mockingbird won't sing

So I'll go out and buy you a diamond ring

Your fingers have become a crane

Pulling on these puppet strings
