[レッドベルベット「Marionette」歌詞]

[Verse 1: Irene, Joy, Yeri]
雲ひとつない starry night
舞台を照らす moonlight
明日じゃダメ it's the time
Feel good, good, good
気まぐれな音楽に
手足動かされる私
美しく切ない show が始まる
幕は開いた

[Pre-Chorus: Wendy, Irene, Seulgi, Joy]
Hey, you
心の中 声が聴こえて
「君はどこにいる?」
いつも同じ踊りばかりじゃ
つまらない

[Chorus: Seulgi, Yeri, Joy, Wendy]
夢に見てた完璧な scene
決めた今すぐに make it real
絡み付く糸断ち切って
動き出した marionette
流れ星は幻
ただ一度だけの瞬き
透き通った瞳で見つめて見つけて
踊り明かす marionette

[Post-Chorus: All, Irene, Seulgi, Joy, *Wendy*]
Yeah, yeah, 痛くて怖くて
狭い箱に閉じ込め
(I go) 座ってジッとしていないで
たった一歩だけで高く高く舞い上がろう
(I go) *やがて楽しくなった*

[Verse 2: Seulgi, Yeri, Irene]
蝋燭なら1本で
It's my birthday
書き直した運命
I'm not going back
儚い無色の show は終わる
幕は下りた

[Pre-Chorus: Joy, Yeri, Wendy, Seulgi]
Hey, you
迷わないで 息を吹き込んで
「私はここにいる」
誰も行かない未知の場所でも
構わない

[Chorus: Irene, Wendy, Seulgi, Joy]
夢に見てた完璧な scene
決めた今すぐに make it real
絡み付く糸断ち切って
動き出した marionette
流れ星は幻
ただ一度だけの瞬き
透き通った瞳で見つめて見つけて
踊り明かす marionette

[Refrain: Wendy, Yeri]
夜風に身を預け
自由に踊れば
月明かりも星も味方になる

[Bridge: All, Seulgi, Joy, Irene]
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
好きなように
時間よ slowly
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
止まらない
Don't stop me now

[Chorus: Wendy, Yeri, Irene, Seulgi]
夢に見てた完璧な scene
決めた今すぐに make it real
絡み付く糸断ち切って
動き出した marionette
流れ星は幻
ただ一度だけの瞬き
透き通った瞳で見つめて見つけて
踊り明かす marionette
