lyrics

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

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
