PAPER MAN

Well, me of all people should understand nothing you say’s ever personal You think yourself an “untamable” man What you really are is impossible to rely on You land in fair weather then you fly on ? not ‘cause you wanna be free but ‘cause you don’t want me to see You’re a Paper Man, flying high as you can always just out of reach from Reality’s hand Can’t bear the weight ? no, not a paper man Can’t bear the weight, no… You talk the talk just ‘cause you like the sound of heavier things that you never did Your honey eyes have a glimmer of doubt: The truth isn’t quite how you render it in the mirror… you turn on the steam so nobody sees you clearer You’re so afraid to dig in ‘cause what if there’s nothing ‘neath the skin of a Paper Man, moving fast as you can You Hear but don’t Listen, Know but don’t Understand Can’t bear the weight ? no, not a paper man Can’t bear the weight, oh, no, not a paper man I’m so glad you stopped by, Teacher in deep disguise You’ve shown me exactly who I don’t wanna be Paper Man, never know where you’ll land Your every promise just words in the sand Can’t bear no weight ? no, not you, not you not a Paper Man, moving fast as you can You Hear but don’t Listen, Know but don’t Understand Can’t bear the weight ? no, not a, not a, not a Paper Man You’re a Paper Man, flying high as you can always just out of reach from Reality’s hand Can’t bear the weight ? no, not a Paper Man
