Paper Sun

So you think you're having good times With the boy that you just met (paper sun) Kicking sand from beach to beach Your clothes all soaking wet But if you look around and see A shadow on the run (on the run) Don't be too upset because it's just a paper sun Ahh Paper Sun Ahh Paper Sun In the room where you've been sleeping All your clothes all thrown about (paper sun) Cigarettes burn window sills Your meter's all run out But then again it's nothing You just split when day is done (day is gone) Pitching lips to nowhere, hung up on the paper sun Ahh Paper Sun Ahh Paper Sun Standing in the cool of my room Fresh cut flowers give me sweet perfume (too much sun will burn) Too much sun will burn (too much sun will burn) Too much sun will burn When you're feeling tired and lonely You see people going home (paper sun) You can't make the train fare Or the six pence for the phone And icicles your crying From your cheek have just begun (just begun) Don't be sad, good times are had Beneath the paper sun Ahh Paper Sun Ahh Paper Sun Daylight breaks while you sleep on the sand A seagull is stealing the ring from your hand The boy who had given you so much fun Has left you so cold in the paper sun In the paper sun In the paper sun In the paper sun In the paper sun
