[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
