Paper Snake Songtext
von Wax Mannequin

Papersnake
Takes the bait I left it
Now trapped inside the box I brought
Papersnake
Can safely be tested
For nasty things that we don′t want

Papersnake
Filled up with our ointment
Cures its hate and its disease
Papersnake
Just relax and join us
Together we will make you bleed

Papersnake
How will we ever let you go
And know that you won't talk about what we′ve done?
Papersnake
How can we ever let you be
And believe you to be much better than before?


Papersnake
Crumbles on the carpet
Despite what all our tests have hoped
Papersnake
Buys beef and goes to market
Then quickly starts to decompose

Papersnake
Why did you ever catch our eye?
You knew that we might die
For a chance to reign
Papersnake
How can we ever just forget
And know that you forgive us for what we've done?

Papersnake
A peaceful finger reaches forth and it gently
Greets your shrinking skin
And though your pain is great
And though your heart strains with the blood
You know that love has come


For now
Forever
For now
Forever
For now
Forever
For now
Forever
Forever

Papersnake
How will we ever let you go
And know that you won't talk about what we′ve done?
Papersnake
How can we ever set you free
And believe you to be much better than before?

Papersnake
Why did you ever catch our eye?
You knew that we might die
For a chance to reign
Papersnake
How can we ever just forget
And know that you forgive us for what we′ve done?

Papersnake
How can we ever let you go
And know that you won't talk about what we′ve done?
Papersnake
How can we ever let you be
And believe you to be better than before?

Papersnake
How did you ever catch our eye?
You knew that we might die
For a chance to reign
Papersnake
How can we ever just forget
And know that you'll forgive us for what we′ve done?
