lyrics

A STRANGER CAME STOOD BESIDE ME
ALL DRESSED IN DUSTY BLACK
A THIN HAND HE PLACED ON MY SHOULDER,
HIS BREATH CAME WARM ON MY NECK,
HIS TOUCH WAS FEATHER-LIGHT
AND HIS VOICE SOFT IN MY EAR
BUT HIS WORDS RANG CLEAR,
ALL TOO CLEAR

WELL I BELONG TO NO ONE
AND NO ONE MOVES MY HAND,
YEAH I BELONG TO NO ONE
AND NO ONE MOVES MY HAND

'WHOSE PUPPET ARE YOU?'

HE BADE ME RAISE MY HEAD
AND EXAMINE THE SKY ABOVE
AND THERE I SAW A CROSS,
WITH LONG STRINGS HANGING DOWN,
DOWN DOWN TO THE GROUND,
AND DOWN TO MY WRISTS
DOWN DOWN TO THE GROUND
AND DOWN TO MY KNEES

'WHOSE PUPPET ARE YOU?'

WELL I BELONG TO NO ONE
AND NO ONE MOVES MY HAND,
YEAH I BELONG TO NO ONE
AND NO ONE MOVES MY HAND

AND AGAIN HE WHISPERED TO ME
HIS WORDS CUTTING THROUGH ME,
“WE ALL BELONG TO SOMEONE BABY
ONLY WE CAN'T SEE THE STRINGS
AND JUST WHEN YOU'RE FLYING ON YOUR OWN
YOU'LL FIND SOMETHING ELSE MOVES YOUR WINGS”
