歌词
[Verse 1]
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 are 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
[Refrain]
A paper sun
A paper sun
[Verse 2]
In the room where you've been sleeping
All your clothes are 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 done)
Hitching lifts to nowhere, hung up on the paper sun
[Refrain]
A paper sun
A paper sun
[Bridge]
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)
[Verse 3]
When you're feeling tired and lonely
You see people going home (Paper sun)
You can't make the train fare
Or the sixpence for the phone
And icicles you're crying
Down your cheek have just begun (Just begun)
Don't be sad, good times are had
Beneath the paper sun
[Refrain]
A paper sun
A paper sun
