[Verse 1]
Puppet king, oh puppet king
When you sleep, do you dream of control?
Everything run by strings
Your shadow has a voice of its own

[Verse 2]
Puppet king, oh puppet king
Have your subjects found out that you're dead?
Whispers sing in the wind
The puppet mob has come for your head

[Chorus]
Puppet show
Puppet show

[Verse 3]
Puppet king, oh puppet king
The end is near, the curtains come down
Hear them sing, dance and drink
A puppet king without a puppet crown

[Chorus]
Puppet show
Puppet show
[Trombone Solo]

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
Puppet king, oh puppet king
(Puppet king, oh puppet king)
Puppet king, oh puppet king
(Puppet king, oh puppet king)

[Verse 4]
All the children sing
Of a crownless king
When children sing
Then you will know

[Chorus]
The puppet show
Puppet show
