Does this bring back memories?
So you think you're having good times
With a boy that you just met
[ OH, PAPER SUN ]
Kicking sand from beach to beach
Your clothes are soaking wet
But if you look around -you'll
See the shadows on the run
Don't be too upset because
-It's just a paper sun
[ OH, PAPER SUN ]
In the room where you've been sleeping
All your clothes are thrown about
-Cigarettes burn window sills
The meter's all run out
But there again -it's nothing
You just split when day is done
Hitching lifts to nowhere
Home to -Paper Sun
[Standing in the cool of my room]
[fresh cut flowers give me sweet perfume]
When you're feelin tired and lonely
You see people going home
You can make that train
For six cents -on the phone
-And icicles you're crying
down you cheek have just begun
Don't be sad -good time be had
Beneath the Paper Sun
[ OH, PAPER SUN ]
those were the days, for me, 68-73, foot-loose and francy-free, if only in
my head.
-Traffic, paper sun.
