Marionette

El Caco

A russian roulette
With words full of bullets
Betting with cards
In a room full of mirrors
The spit I should have swallowed
Runs out of my mouth
The marks that I made
Are all washed away

I lose either way as long
As I’m the prey
I lose either way as long
As I’m the prey

An oblivious plot
Give a little, take a lot
Loosen the strings
What will the marionette sing?
I bow finding victory
On the table below
I start taking lessons
In what I should know

I lose either way as long
As I’m the prey
I lose either way as long
As I’m the prey
I lose either way as long
As I’m the prey
I lose either way as long
As I’m the prey
I lose either way as long

As I’m the prey
I lose either way as long
As I’m the prey
I lose either way as long
As I’m the prey
I lose either way as long
As I’m the prey
