Lyrics

[00:15.190] So you think you're having good times
[00:18.795] With the boy that you just met
[00:22.792] Kicking sand from beach to beach
[00:26.449] Your clothes are soaking wet
[00:29.923] But if you look around and see
[00:33.215] A shadow on the run (on the run)
[00:37.237] Don't be too upset because it's just a paper sun
[00:44.395] Ah paper sun, ah paper sun
[01:12.973] In the room where you've been sleeping
[01:16.055] All our clothes are thrown about
[01:20.235] Cigarettes burn window sills
[01:23.735] Your meter's all run out
[01:27.079] But there again it's nothing
[01:30.475] You just split when day is done (day is gone)
[01:34.628] Hitching lifts to nowhere, hung up on the paper sun
[01:41.891] Ah paper sun, ah paper sun
[02:11.069] Standing in the cool of my room
[02:18.018] Fresh cut flowers give me sweet perfume (too much sun will burn)
[02:23.556] Too much sun will burn (too much sun will burn)
[02:26.952] Too much sun will burn
[02:32.411] When you're feeling tired and lonely
[02:35.572] You see people going home
[02:39.856] You can't make the train fare
[02:42.782] Or the sixpence for the phone
[02:47.066] And icicles you're crying
[02:50.018] Down your cheek have just begun
[02:54.224] Don't be sad, good times are had
[02:57.541] Beneath the paper sun
[03:01.355] Ah paper sun, ah paper sun
[03:23.037] Daylight breaks while you sleep on the sand
[03:30.429] A seagull is stealing the ring from your hand
[03:37.665] The boy who had given you so much fun
[03:44.927] Has left you so cold in the paper sun
[03:55.324] In the paper sun, in the paper sun, in the paper sun, in the paper sun
