Puppet City — текст песни (Jane Siberry)

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
