Paper Crown lyrics
You know you re where it s at
but you don t know where that is,
when your friends come round smiling
and greet you with a kiss,
Then push you in the dirt
from behind.
There s no time like the right time
when the now times wearing thin
for their silver tinsel dresses
and their microwave skin
and their cheap books of romance.
I think I ll take my chances.
So I run like I d run from a flood,
like you know it s understood.
That your golden hair
was never meant to wear
a paper crown.
You know that a smile
is their workaday face.
You can t calculate the effort
just to keep it in its place.
They don t shoot to kill, they d always miss,
so shoot to wound.
Like they re always searching through your pockets
like they expect to find a answer.
The truth is that the truth is
as commonplace as cancer.
If you d only take the time
you don t need to seek to find it.
Just run like I d run from a flood,
like you know it s understood.
That your golden hair
was never meant to wear
a paper crown.
(solo)
Run like you d run for good,
like the rivers running blood
and you see your life flashing by.
I run like I d run from a flood,
like you know it s understood.
That your golden hair
was never meant to wear
a paper crown,
a paper crown,
a paper crown,
a paper crown.
