lyrics

Papersong
(Cardier)

Paper, paper is the face
Of a paper person from a paper race -
You must try to understand -
Listen, if you can -
Paper legs don’t stand.

Paper, paper are your friends -
See how you can fold them -
See how they can bend -
You must try to understand -
Listen, if you can -
Paper legs don’t stand.

And I am another paper man.

Crayon, crayon is your name -
Crayon could be coloured
But it’s crayon all the same -
You can decorate your eyes -
Technicolour lies on someone’s paper prize.

And I am another paper man.

Paper, paper is the face
Of a paper person from a paper race -
You must try to understand -
Listen, if you can -
Paper legs don’t stand
Another paper man.
