歌词
[Verse 1]
So you think you're having good times
With a boy that you just met
Kicking sand from beach to beach
Your clothes all soaking wet
But if you looked around and see
A shadow on the run
Don't be too upset because
It's just a paper sun
[Verse 2]
Oh, paper sun
Oh, paper sun
[Verse 3]
In the room where you've been sleeping
All the clothes are thrown about
Cigarettes burn window sills
Your meter's all run out
But there again, it's nothing
You just split when day is done
Pitchin' lips to nowhere
Hung up on the paper sun
[Verse 4]
Oh, paper sun
Oh, paper sun
[Verse 5]
Standing in the cool of my room
Fresh cut flower, give me sweet perfume
Too much sun will burn
Too much sun will burn
[Verse 6]
When you're feeling tired and lonely
You see people going home
You can make the train fare
Or the six pence for the phone
And icicles your crying
Down your cheeks have just begun
Don't be sad, good times are had
Beneath the paper sun
[Verse 7]
Oh, paper sun
Oh, paper sun
[Verse 8]
Daylight breaks while you sleep on the sand
A seagull is stealing the ring from your hand
The boy that had given you so much fun
Has left you so cold in the paper sun
[Verse 9]
In the paper sun
In the paper sun
In the paper sun
In the paper sun
