They sent you down a paper friend I hear
|
and you went back on all the vows you once held so dear
|
There you stretched so calm and quiet
|
and things looked good now don¡¯t deny it
|
You walked on air for fifteen minutes
|
and after that there was nothing in it
|
You don¡¯t need those paper friends at all
|
no you don¡¯t need those kind of friends
|
|
You say you¡¯ve lost your sense of time again
|
well you¡¯ve been using that excuse since who knows when
|
You went the way of all young rebels
|
ignore the Gods embrace the Devils
|
But they¡¯re no good for you in your state
|
so why not drive them right out of your gates
|
¡®Cos you don¡¯t need those paper friends at all
|
you don¡¯t need those type of friends
|
|
No one knows what you¡¯re feeling
|
and life goes on in its own sweet time
|
Your passions flame for no reason
|
you haunt the city for something that shines
|
even one thing to rhyme
|
|
And if I meet you on the rounds today
|
I hope you won¡¯t turn on your heel or walk away
|
Yes I know it takes so much effort
|
but facing up can be so much better
|
So what if dreams they all come to nothing
|
just blow your nose and keep on looking
|
¡®Cos you don¡¯t need those paper friends at all
|
you don¡¯t need those kind of friends
|
Yes you don¡¯t need those paper friends at all
|
you don¡¯t need those paper friends
|
