Here comes your drunken marionette

Dragging his mess of threads

There at the bar pulling smoke to his lungs

 He says who will ignore me when you're gone?

Now come on lift me up

I wanna dance by your tin cup

Tower of beauty with a split in your tongue

Who will ignore me when you're gone?

 He says who will ignore me when you're gone?

 Here he cooooooomes

 Here he cooooooomes

 Be still the wooden heart

 That wouldn't ever part

 With the drunken marionette

Been mainlining bad thoughts

Been drinking things I wish I'd not

Intoxicated with sad songs

Who will forgive you when I'm gone?

They sing auld lang syne

I've got mutiny on my mind

A guilty conscience means at least you've got one

Who will forgive you when I'm gone?

 He says who will forgive you when I'm gone?

 Here he comes

 Here he comes

 Be still the wooden heart

 Who wouldn't ever part

 Waiting on a spark

 That hasn't happened yet

 For the drunken marionette

Carry on

 Turn the lights down when you go

In the hours left

 I hope you feel the things that I know I won't

What you give is what you get

I get so worried bout your debts

Who carries evil out evil will come

Who will defend you when I'm gone?

 He says who will defend you when I'm gone?

 Here he comes

 Here he comes

 Be still the wooden heart

 Wouldn't ever part

 Waiting on a spark

 That hasn't happened yet

 Here he comes

 Here he comes

 Be still the wooden heart

 That wouldn't ever part

 Waiting on a spark

 That hasn't happened yet

 For the drunken marionette
