Paperman

You're just the paper man

You're yesterday's news

You're full of stories

Not one of them is true

Oh don't forget about

All of my worries or my strife

You'll bear in mind

All that was done wrong

But nothing that was right

Words red ruby

Cut right through me

Paper ships sail on scarlet tides

I can't run and I can't hide

Sinking in plain sight

Your words cut me now

They crush me now

They weigh me down

Just the paper man

My fingers are black from your filth

Your hands are stained red

Blood money pays your bills

Oh don't forget about

All of your money or your pride

I'll bear in mind all that you've done wrong

You've never done what was right

Words red ruby

Cut right through me

Paper ships sail on scarlet tides

I can't run and I can't hide

Sinking in plain sight

Your words cut me now

They crush me now

They weigh me down

Oh sticks and stones may break my bones

But the weight of your words has drowned me

Words red ruby

Cut right through me

Paper ships sail on scarlet tides

I can't run and I can't hide

Sinking in plain sight

Your words cut me now

They crush me now

They weigh me down

Yeah they weigh me down

Yeah they cross my bows

Under the weight of your words

I sink down

Down

Down

Down

Down
