Marionette

Would you like to play a simple little game?
Rules you must obey
They won’t hurt, now please stay
Rolling of the dice, testing of your fate
Runs the little lab mice as they go towards the bait
You can see the marionette strings
They pull and tug
They can be so controlling to me
Come and take your turn rolling up a five
Landing in the fields that burn, it seems that’s your last life
«A rematch,» says you
Afraid it can’t be done
It’s just a little game we do but you’ve had your fun
You can see the marionette strings
They pull and tug
They can be so controlling
Now how naive
Our thread is constantly thinning
As you waste it all
You see, there’s no resetting at all
You can see the marionette strings
They pull and tug
They can be so controlling
Now how naive
Our thread is constantly thinning
As you waste it all
You see, there’s no resetting at all
