|
So you think you had a good time |
|
With the boy that you just met |
|
Kicking sand from beach to beach |
|
Your clothes all soaking wet |
|
But if you look around and see |
|
A shadow on the run |
|
Don't be too surprised if its just a paper sun |
|
Ahh Paper Sun |
|
Ahh Paper Sun |
|
In the room where you've been sleeping |
|
All your clothes all thrown about |
|
Cigarettes burn window sills |
|
Your meter's all run out |
|
But then again it's nothing |
|
You just split when day is done |
|
Hitching lifts to nowhere, hung up on the paper sun |
|
Standing in the cool of my room |
|
Fresh cut flowers give me sweet perfume |
|
Too much sun will burn |
|
When you're feeling tired and lonely |
|
You see people going home |
|
You can't make the train fare |
|
Or the six pence for the phone |
|
And icicles you're crying |
|
From your cheek have just begun |
|
Don't be sad, good times are had |
|
Beneath the 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 |
