lyrics

Paper ©2009

She slipped on a banana skin
Made of paper But it was real Real

She hit her head on the concrete pavement
But it was real Fuck Real

She fell in love with a paper man
He looked good from the front
Good from the back
But in between that
I guess you could say
He was flat


But paper is stronger than you think
It’s even stronger with words written in ink
I can write you three post it notes
On what why and how
I’ve left you now
Cos you’ve not a drop to drink
And I’ve a thirst
I’ve a thirst
Of a thousand paper towels.

He longed to be a kite
She held his string
Stroked his wings so he could fly
But he just flapped in the wind
And gave her a paper cut
in the eye

She made him paper snowflakes
with cut out diamonds and hearts
And the truth fell through the holes
and out of love with those tinfoil stars

Cos paper is stronger than you think
It’s even stronger with words written in ink
I can write you three post it notes
On what why and how
I’ve left you now
Cos you’ve not a drop to drink
And I’ve a thirst
I’ve a thirst
Of a thousand paper towels.

She longed for three dimensions
Of an origami crane
Not an army of same same
Soldier paper chains
She longed for the letters
That would sing beneath the words
A storybook of paper just a yearning to be heard

Oh send me a letter of your love
Send me a letter of your love from far away
Write me 3 post it notes of why you love me
And I’ll save them for a rainy day

But paper is stronger than you think
It’s even stronger with words written in ink
I can write you three post it notes
On what why and how
I’ve left you now
Cos you’ve not a drop to drink
And I’ve a thirst
I’ve a thirst
Of a thousand paper towels.

Oh send me a letter of your love
Send me a letter of your love from far away
Write me 10 post it notes of why you love me
And I’ll save them for a rainy day
