Well, me of all people should understand
nothing you say’s ever personal
You think yourself an “untamable” man
What you really are is impossible to rely on
You land in fair weather then you fly on ?
not ‘cause you wanna be free
but ‘cause you don’t want me to see

You’re a Paper Man, flying high as you can
always just out of reach from Reality’s hand
Can’t bear the weight ? no, not a paper man
Can’t bear the weight, no…

You talk the talk just ‘cause you like the sound
of heavier things that you never did
Your honey eyes have a glimmer of doubt:
The truth isn’t quite how you render it in the mirror…
you turn on the steam so nobody sees you clearer
You’re so afraid to dig in
‘cause what if there’s nothing ‘neath the skin

of a Paper Man, moving fast as you can
You Hear but don’t Listen, Know but don’t Understand
Can’t bear the weight ? no, not a paper man
Can’t bear the weight, oh, no, not a paper man

I’m so glad you stopped by, Teacher in deep disguise
You’ve shown me exactly who I don’t wanna be

Paper Man, never know where you’ll land
Your every promise just words in the sand
Can’t bear no weight ? no, not you, not you
not a Paper Man, moving fast as you can
You Hear but don’t Listen, Know but don’t Understand
Can’t bear the weight ? no, not a, not a, not a Paper Man
You’re a Paper Man, flying high as you can
always just out of reach from Reality’s hand
Can’t bear the weight ? no, not a Paper Man
