Paper Thin

I was gonna get up off that bar stool Just as soon as I could figure it out Why I was overlooked at the car pool Stood up at the dance with no twist and shout When you're burnin' with your last desire And every memory haunts you You write it down in alcohol fire 'Cause that's the only flame that wants you CHORUS: When you're paper thin Yeah, read all about it When you were out of luck, well, luck was doin' alright Now you're paper thin Yeah, they can see right through ya You just cut you're little finger on the edge of the night Now do I really have to be responsible For what I did between those tavern walls I was just mixing up some chemicals You could've heard a pin drop, could have heard time crawl And every once in a while You could hear you're own heart pound Maybe some paper doll with a pasted on smile Would let you write her number down CHORUS
