So many years ago, many more than I'd even care to bear in my mind

All the limbs in their right places and a heart made of real gold

Every night I returned to watch them- The master and the puppet in the show

He said "Oh no, I cannot sell him. Priceless he is, masterpiece of mine."
Am Em C G/B
Please sell me your puppet, sir, name your price oh please!

Whatever you may ask, tenfold the price I pay
Am Em C G/B
Did I not make it clear? This debate is over
Am Em G D/F#
I will never part from this puppet, my son
C Em Dadd11 C Em Dadd11 C
With hungry eyes I followed them all night, the blind master and the puppet he had made
Em Dadd11 C Em Dadd11 C
No, sir, to sell is not my will! The doll is mine, even if I have to kill
Bb Dm C Bb Dm C Bb
So it shall be, if this is what it takes. Greed is truly blinder than me

Of the master, when the puppet's in his place
