Paper People Songtext
von lostnote

Paper people livin′ the good life
Trading the daylight for the night
Sellin' stories to pass the time
In confession-less black leather tights

Saw you through the window
Lurkin′ there in the garden
Delivering conviction-less sermons

God is one of us
He just called sayin' darkness is overhead
Be still my tongue
She said

Strangers in the silver moonlight
Wearin' paper-thin alibis
The proof lies in their silent cries
Hole punched into me along the dotted lines


Sculptors in sunglasses and berets
Chippin′ at the rubies and roses
Scammers they raise a glass
It′s me, it's my house, pardon my class

Reality is superimposed
The air is heavy, I decompose
In the graveyard of yuppy condos

God is one of us
Said, why you so sad, girl?
He waited for an answer
And I said, I said

Strangers in the silver moonlight
Wearin′ paper-thin alibis
The truth lies in their silent cries
Hole punched into me along the dotted lines
Strangers, they look into the lake
Wondering if they should stay
The paper people wish me away
If only I was one of them, one of them


Strangers in the silver moonlight
Wearin' paper-thin alibis
The truth lies in their silent cries
Hole punched into me along the dotted lines
