Violet Wants It Her Way Songtext
von Blind Mime Ensemble

I′m a puppet man with knotted strings
Oh, my legs can dance but I wish I could sing
And run away -- oh, can't you see
This child′s play is killing me
And if I could I would

But here I am, inside this box
She has the key that fits the lock
These other toys don't feel my pain
And while they sleep I plot my escape
And if I could I would

When Violet wants it her way
Violet gets it her way
When Violet wants it her way
Violet gets it her way


Another night out on this stage
While you laugh and cry I'm filled with rage
I cannot be what she′s making of me
A pantomime with no words to sing
And if I could I would

When Violet wants it her way
Violet gets it her way
When Violet wants it her way
Violet gets it her way

And knowing you and knowing me
I′d run so far only to see
Violet, it's you I need
Violet, set me free!

I′m a puppet man with knotted strings
Oh, my legs can dance but I wish I could sing
Oh, Violet, oh, can't you see?
Oh, Violet, please set me free
And if I could, I would

When Violet wants it her way
Violet gets it her way
When Violet wants it her way
Violet gets it her way
