Sometimes I look into your eyes
I’m trying to see the light that shines back at me
Sometimes there’s nothing there
Sometimes it’s hard to care
Sometimes I’m scared that I don’t know

What pulls you up?
What pulls you down?
What pulls you back to me, my love?
What makes you sing?
What pulls your strings from up above
What pulls you up?

I wish it was just you and me
Like in our glory when we needed no-one
Maybe another hand
Messed with our master plan
Perhaps we'll never understand

What pulls us up?
What pulls us down?
What pulls us back again, my love?
What makes us sing?
What pulls our strings from up above
What pulls us up?

Are we just happy puppets, baby?
Can we make up our own minds?
Are we just happy puppets?
Maybe.
Probably.

And now you’re just a mystery
And we will never know whodunit, will we?
First time is just for fun
Next time, repeat step one
And then you’re done before you know

What pulls you up?
What pulls you down?
What pulls you back again, my love?
What makes you sing?
What pulls your strings from up above
What pulls us up?

Are we just happy puppets?
Maybe.
