Lyric

Soaked to the bone by the splashing spray

But you just laugh and turn the other way

"It’ll dry in a second," you say with a grin

Under a sinful sun that’s burning my skin

That innocent smile, it’s a dangerous game

Making my heart race, putting me to shame

When did that button come undone on your shirt?

Are you teasing me? Or am I the one getting hurt?

Caught in the glimmer of a summer spell

Drawn into a story only the heat can tell

Tied to the magic threads, thin and bright

We’re just marionettes in the golden light

Moving to the rhythm that the season spreads

Summer’s marionettes, losing our heads

Your skirt is fluttering, a flash in the breeze

Drawing a heart in the sand with such ease

Innocent gestures, but the wind is a sin

Making me nervous from outside and in

Red mules cast off, left alone on the shore

Since when did you start running? I’m wanting more

Chasing after you, or am I being led?

Following the path where your footsteps tread

Caught in the glimmer of a summer spell

Drawn into a story only the heat can tell

Tied to the magic threads, thin and bright

We’re just marionettes in the golden light

Moving to the rhythm that the season spreads

Summer’s marionettes, losing our heads

One button loose

The heat starts to rise

Are you the puppet master

In a summer disguise?

Tied to the magic threads, thin and bright

We’re just marionettes in the golden light

Moving to the rhythm that the season spreads

Summer’s marionettes, losing our heads

Pulled by the threads

Summer magic

Just a marionette
