Paper Thin Songtext
von ABC

Rich and wealthy canvas, clustered up in jewels
Finding all your heavyweights are featherweights and fools
Broken all your promises, broken all your paper plates
Clustered in gold, clustered in gold

Heavy and hollow, look at the shape we′re in
Find us here, paper thin
Heavy and humble, look at the shape we're in
Find us here, paper thin

In origami cities and nations built on sand
Love got bent right out of shape, things got out of hand
Polystyrene skylines, vacuum-meshy smiles
Rusted and bruised, tarnished and frail

Heavy and hollow, look at the shape we′re in
Find us here, paper thin
Heavy and humble, look at the shape we're in
Find us here, paper thin
Paper thin, paper thin


Stars scrape the moon and the moon scrapes the sky
We stand beneath, wondering why (Why?)
Stars scrape the moon and the moon scrapes the sky
We stand beneath, wondering, wondering why

Paper buys the men, the men that make the bomb
The bomb that makes this world paper thin

Money markets crumble, gentle as a drum
If you see me stumble, I'm paper thin
Life is but a fragile thing, so delicate and pure
An accolade bestowed on us, paper thin
So contemplate the skull, the skull beneath the skin
One day we all die, we′re paper thin
Bury your destruction in your last battle hymn
The barriers between us, make ′em all paper thin
Paper thin, paper thin, paper thin

Underneath this paper moon the sky is paper thin
Torn into a thousand shreds, so let the solar system in
Rich and wealthy canvas, clustered up in jewels
Finding all your heavyweights are featherweights and fools
In origami cities and nations built on sand
Love got bent right out of shape, nothing ends as planned, yeah
And it's all paper thin, paper thin, yeah


And it′s all paper thin, yeah
Paper thin, paper thin, yeah
And it's all paper thin, yeah
Paper thin, paper thin, yeah
Paper thin, paper thin, yeah
