The Puppetmaster

Night time in Budapest 
So many people are waiting in line 
Darkness without a glow 
What a night to be watching a Christmas show 


What a magical mystery feeling 
Dancing at the end of their silvery strings 
Almost human in size 
Like children with plague in their flesh 
These Puppets are oh so grotesque 


Night time in Budapest 
The Puppet Theater is so dark inside 
Gas lamps light the stage 
We're watching as the curtain begins to rise 


What a magical mystery feeling 
Dancing at the end of their silvery strings 
Almost human in size 
Like children with plague in their flesh 
These Puppets are so grotesque 


Sssssshhhh...here come the Puppets 
There is 1..2...I see 3 Puppets waiting in the wing 
Then they start to walk, in line 
And suddenly they're all on the stage 
I see the Puppet Master high above on the walkway 
He pulls one string and up goes a leg.. Down goes a head 
He pulls one more and he lets them all go! 


[solo: Andy] 


No strings, none of them fall, no strings at all... 


I take a look at the Little Drummer Boy, up on the stage.. Oh no 
I think he looked at me.. ME, is he alive? 
I get a little scared...as he starts to play his drum 
On the skin of his hand, I see a little cut...BLOOD 


[solos: Mike - Andy] 


Night time in Budapest 
So many things here are not what they seem 
But we love them all 
What a night to remember forevermore 


What a magical mystery feeling 
Dancing at the end of their silvery strings 
Almost human in size 
Like children with plague in their flesh 
These Puppets are so grotesque 


The show has come to an end 
The Master himself is on the STAGE 
With his CHILDREN, the curtain must fall 
And then the Puppets they are...Gone
