Puppet City Lyrics

Artist: Jane Siberry
Album: Teenager

I couldn't believe it
when you said you didn't care
if people used you
or people stole from you
you said - nothing lasts forever
nothing to do with you
then you say

come to me if you can be quiet
come little one
if you can be still
you say - there's so much more to do
than get caught up on every issue
it's puppet city out there truly

I couldn't believe it
when you said you had no feelings
of love or hate or anything dramatic
not jealousy or pride
you said you'd set these things aside
then you say

come to me...

I couldn't believe it
when you said I had been programmed
to miss you when you go away
to be indignant when you stay away
to worry about things the proper length of time
well-taught emotionally

girl does this - tell her it's wrong
that's the thing to do
girl does that - tell her it's wrong
that's the thing to do
if you love them you need them
so stop trying to free them
that's the thing to do
that's not the thing to do

I couldn't believe it
when you said you needed no one
you're a stubborn man
I think you're antisocial
whatever that is
you're supposed to care about your brother
it's not right to be so cold

come to me if you can be quiet
come little one
if you can be still
you say - there's so much more to do
than get caught up on every issue
it's puppet city out there truly
