Dressed up in my crimson corset
Blackened skirt and knee-high boots
I walked along the damp, empty streets
At the end I saw your gentle face
With that golden top hat and blood-red eyes
Just couldn't let opportunity go to waste
So I followed you through the alley way..
And oh, dear, look where I ended up!

I'm your little Marionette,
Thread the strings straight through my back
Pull them lightly, make me move
Leave me limp before I can react
Run your fingers along the grooves
Carved into my body with that twisted grin
Oh my puppet mastermind, don't leave me hanging!

Into your shop we strode like lovers
Hands interlaced, light as can be
What would I find under all those ghastly covers?
We sat down on the tiny table to have some tea
Sharing with the dolls which lingered so near
Who'd have thought I'd soon find my place,
so close to them and so far from reality?

I'm your little Marionette,
Thread the strings straight through my back
Pull them lightly, make me move
Leave me limp before I can react
Run your fingers along the grooves
Carved into my body with that twisted grin
Oh my puppet mastermind, don't leave me hanging!

I knew at once I had grown a bit too fond
As my heart melted over towards yours
Morphing together like a demented experiment
A mad scientist is all you are, yet somehow
This aroma is impossible to stray from
Dress me up as what you choose
This deranged ectasy hasn't quite begun
You're my master and I'm your *****
Feed me the pills and inject me with lust
Thicken the drinks and drive me insane!

I'm your little Marionette,
Thread the strings straight through my back
Pull them lightly, make me move
Leave me limp before I can react
Run your fingers along the grooves
Carved into my body with that twisted grin
Oh my puppet mastermind, don't leave me hanging!
