So many years ago, many more than I'd 
Even care to bear in my mind 
From the darkest of all places I found you 

All the limbs in their right places 
and a heart made of real gold 
Sell me your little doll, oh sir, I ask you kind 

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." 

Please, sell me your puppet, sir. 
Name your price, oh please, 
Whatever you may ask, 
Tenfold the price I pay 

"Did I not make it clear? 
This debate is over. 
I will never part from this puppet, my son..." 

With hungry eyes I followed them all night 
The blind master and the puppet he had made 
"No, sir, to sell is not my will!" 
The doll is mine, even if I have to kill... 

So it shall be... if this is what it takes 
"Oh, greed's truly blinder than me... 
Heart of gold is what you wish for? 
So, this little boy... wants to be... a puppet, for real..." 

So I have the golden heart 
Now only needing the voice of the master 
Never feel hunger, never grow older 
My dream was to be a star in a real puppet show 

It's so hard to remember my life 
The times before the show 
Can I ever cut off the strings? 
"Take a bow, now dance and sing..." [sing!] 

Would you turn me to a child again? 
"No, never, I am your Guide." 
You can see a small grin on the face 
Of the master, when the puppet's in his place 

Be careful what you wish for 
Wishes might come alive 
The twines are pulling me every day and night... 
The show, the glitter and all the fame 
I'd give away for a life 
Some things can end with a word, they say 
This only ends with a sharp knife. [knife]
