Lyrics

Paper Man
Roem Baur (BMI)

V1

The Paper man, has gone insane
His thin paper heart, has someone to blame                  
He has never known anyone, like he now knows pain  

Uh, huh...

Far from copacetic, when you break it on down

V2

Everyone in town, had taken a turn
To teach this little missy, unwilling to learn
She said, “living like this, I’d rather burn”
He said, “living like this, she’s gonna live in an urn

Chorus

Far from copacetic, when you break it on down
To live, to learn, to love, to burn                             
Now it’s too late for lessons...

It’s too late for lessons on love tonight

V3
Everyone in town, had told her to hide
She said, “He’s hot in the head, but he’s short in the spine”
Now the smoke signals, should have been a real clear sign
Of who’s hot in the head, and who’s short on time

Chorus
Far from copacetic, when you break it on down
To live, to learn, to love, to burn                         
Now it’s too late for lessons...

It’s too late for lessons on love tonight
