On a string   On a string   on a string   I was held   The way I moved, can you tell   My actions are orchestrated from above   And so I swing and I sway   Wave my hand, kick my leg   And it's always right with the music   (katie and tiffany: till all that swaying starts to make you sick)   For a song, I was bought   Now I lie, when I talk   With a careful eye on the cue card   Onto a stage, I was pushed   With my sorrow well rehearsed   So give me all your pity and your money now   All of it   (katie and tiffany: we used to think that sound was something pure)   But if I could act like this was my real life   And not some cage where I've been placed   Well then I could tell you   The truth like I used to   And not be afraid of sounding fake   Now all that anyone's listening for are the mistakes   (katie: sorry!)   No it's ok, it's ok    One, two, three!   One, two, three!   In a house by myself   I hear the ice start to melt   And I watch the rooftops weep for the sunlight   And I know what must change   Fuck my face, fuck my name   They are brief and false advertisements   For a soul, I don't have   Something true I have lacked   I spent my whole life trying to make up for it   But I found, in a song   And in the people I love   They will lift me up out of darkness   And now my door   It stands open, I'm inviting everyone in   We're gonna laugh, we're gonna drink    Until the morning comes   That's what we're gonna do!   Come on!   Come on!
