Umphrey's McGee > Songs > Puppet String > Lyrics


    It's not like there's a book for this or something you could read ‘cause I've looked around
    I tried to fill these holes with other roles I never learned to play
    Seems like they always falter, how the hell should I know
    And it always seems to disappear so quickly you can't see
    Can somebody tell me, where does the time go?
    I got a bigger pile of questions than really I could ever need
    And there's no explaining these

    I've never heard a word about the way we're all received, At least that I believe in
    And I know traditions tell it different, and spell it all laid out to read
    There's no need to confuse me - ‘cause I know what I know
    If everyone's all subscribed to fictions that can't be right
    Then spinning we all collide - One big typo, this puppet show

    I'd usually being the conversation differently, I know it's kinda one sided
    It's so obvious the answer it's just a question I believe that nobody's asking
    But what the hell do I know?
    If everyone's so unsure of what's really below or above us
    Then maybe we all buy in and make our own collective end

    These puppet strings don't pull themselves
    You're thinking thoughts from someone else
    How much time do you think you have?
    Are you prepared for what comes next?
