Notes:

• "I wrote this song for Caitlin.  It’s a really interesting song – for her.  It’s actually for her to sing on her record – but, um – I’ve got it right in my back pocket where it’s been for however long it took to get moist with butt sweat.”  Ryan Adams, 10/22/99.
• “Originally I wrote this next song for Caitlin’s solo record and it didn’t work, cause it’s not about – it’s about me.  But the funny thing to tell you while I’m trying to get a cig is – so the song – it’s a song about a crush, you know, being sort of disarmed by somebody, and for some reason I’ll right a song, I’ll meet some girl or something, and I’ll be like “Man. Wow.” And I’ll write this really great song about her just so like three weeks later I can go “Fuck, I’ve got to play that fucking song.”  Ryan Adams, 10/29/99.
•  “I originally wrote this song for Caitlin Cary who’s in my band, Whiskeytown, for her record, and she kindly rejected the fuck out of it.  Which I thought was really cool which I knew it meant it was a really ‘me’ type tune.  Cause for her it would have to sound like I came for Ireland or something.  No really, I’m just goofing on her.  She liked it, she just didn’t understand what it meant and I said I didn’t either, cause it just happens.  So here is that song.”  Ryan Adams, 01/05/00.

Lyrics:

Marionette with your harpoons
She confiscated my guns
I get so tired of belonging
I think I'm losing you some
And why we lied

Is it funny when you're laughing at me
Is it funny that you're laughing at me
Is it funny that you're laughing at me
The joke's on you
Cause I feel sorry for him

Marionette with the harpoons
Statuette with your wounds
I get so tired of belonging
Tired of belonging to you
And why you lied

Is it funny when you're laughing at me
Is it funny that you're laughing at me
Is it funny that you're laughing at me
The joke's on you
Cause I feel sorry for him

Oh when you lie
Your lies
Become my line
Oh when you say
It will be all right
It will be okay
When you cry
Wish your lies
Could be my line

Marionette with your harpoons
You confiscated my guns
I get so tired of belonging
I think I'm losing you some
And why you lied

Is it funny when you're laughing at me
Is it funny that you're laughing at me
Is it funny that you're laughing at me
The joke's on you
Cause I feel sorry for him
