Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'll practice my fall for practice makes perfect
Chained to the wall for maximum hold
The window's so far, too far from my legs
Oh, open the door and let out the cold
[Verse 2]
You knew about this with your head in your hands
All along, I was the puppet, I was the puppet
[Verse 3]
Trampolines broken, ceiling has come down
The ache in my back tells me something's gone wrong
Rockin' horse rocks as the wallpaper peels
Curtain would like to know what he has done
[Verse 4]
You knew about this with your head in your hands
All along, I was the puppet, I was the puppet
[Verse 5]
We're the salt of the earth, we know what to say
We're the salt of the earth, and we know our place
You knew about this with your head in your hands
All along, I was the puppet, I was the puppet
[Verse 6]
All along (You knew about this) Your head in your hands
All along (You knew about this) I was the puppet, I was the puppet
(You knew about this) Your head in your hands
(You knew about this) I was the puppet, I was the puppet
(We're the salt of the Earth) You knew about this (We know what to say)
Your head in your hands (We're the salt of the Earth) All along
(You knew about this) We knew our place (I was the puppet)
(We're the salt of the Earth) You knew about this (We know what to say)
(We're the salt of the Earth) You knew about this (We know what to say)
I was the puppet, I was the puppet (Salt of the earth)
You knew about this
