Wallflowers: "Here He Comes (Confessions of a Drunken Marionette)" Lyrics

Here comes your drunken marionette

Dragging his mess of threads

There at the bar pulling smoke to his lungs

He says who will ignore me when you're gone?

Now come on lift me up

I wanna dance by your tin cup

Tower of beauty with a split in your tongue

Who will ignore me when you're gone?

He says who will ignore me when you're gone?

Here he cooooooomes

Here he cooooooomes

Be still the wooden heart

That wouldn't ever part

With the drunken marionette

Been mainlining bad thoughts

Been drinking things I wish I'd not

Intoxicated with sad songs

Who will forgive you when I'm gone?

They sing auld lang syne

I've got mutiny on my mind

A guilty conscience means at least you've got one

Who will forgive you when I'm gone?

He says who will forgive you when I'm gone?

Here he comes

Here he comes

Be still the wooden heart

Who wouldn't ever part

Waiting on a spark

That hasn't happened yet

For the drunken marionette

Carry on

Turn the lights on when you go

In the hours left

I hope you feel the things that i know I won't

What you give is what you get

I get so worried bout your debts

Who carries evil out evil will come

Who will defend you when I'm gone?

He says who will defend you when I'm gone?

Here he comes

Here he comes

Be still the wooden heart

Wouldn't ever part

Waiting on a spark

That hasn't happened yet

Here he comes

Here he comes

Be still the wooden heart

That wouldn't ever part

Waiting on a spark

That hasn't happened yet
