Will I see through this nightmare This haunted darkened affair Up in my head but nobody's listening It's now my consciousness that's Eating away from me but I can't stop looking for a better way I hope my fears don't come true It's daunting thinking of you And all your giggles turn into whistling Should I be worried 'bout the distance away from you but I can't stop looking for a better day So I'll be the paper man Write on with my paper pen Roll up with my paper hands Jumbled up all my paper plans I pray it comes to something beautiful Well I can't stand to be any longer Paper Man How did I ever come to Fearing a nervous breakthrough And in this cold waste I'm blistering I should resist the urge to - to disappear from this world but My boat's been waiting on in the shuttle bay So I'll be the paper man Write on with my paper pen Roll up with my paper hands Jumbled up all my paper plans I pray it comes to something beautiful Well I can't stand to be any longer Paper Man It's turning night at this time When all my darkness unwinds And all my thoughts begin their wrestling I need to count on something Time and again But I guess I'll have to be a little longer Paper Man
