Paper Man

Will I see through this nightmare?

This haunted darkened affair

Up in my head, but nobody's listening

It's now my consciousness that's

Eating away from me, but

I can't stop looking for a better way

I hope my fears don't come true

It's daunting thinking of you

And all your giggles turned into whistling

Should I be worried 'bout the distance away from you?

But I can't stop looking for a better day

So I'll be paper man

Write on with my paper pen

Roll up with paper hands

Jumbled up all my paper plans

I pray it comes to something beautiful

Well, I can't stand to be any longer

Paper man

How did I ever come to fearing a nervous breakthrough?

And in this cold waste, I'm blistering

I should resist the urge to, to disappear from this world, but

My boat's been waiting on in the shuttle bay

So I'll be paper man

Write on with my paper pen

Roll up with paper hands

Jumbled up all my paper plans

I pray it comes to something beautiful

Well, I can't stand to be any longer

Paper man

It's turning night at this time

When all my darkness unwinds

And all my thoughts begin their wrestling

I need to count on something

Time and again

But I guess I'll have to be a little longer

Paper man
