Rich and wealthy canvas

Clustered up in jewels

Finding all your heavyweights

Are featherweights and fools


Broken all your promises

Broken all your paper plates

Clustered in gold

Crusted in gold


Heavy and hollow

Look at the shape we're in

Find us here

Paper thin

Heavy and humble

Look at the shape we're in

Find us here

Paper thin


In origami cities

In nations build on sand

Love got bend right outta shape

Things got outta hand


Polystyrene skylines

Papier m�h�㞲㬸 smiles

Rusted and bruised

Tarnished and frail


Heavy and hollow

Look at the shape we're in

Find us here

Paper thin

Heavy and humble

Look at the shape we're in

Find us here

Paper thin


Stars scrape the moon

And the moon scrapes the sky

We stand beneath

Wondering why


Stars scrape the moon

And the moon scrapes the sky

We stand beneath

Wondering, wondering why


Paper buys the men

The men that make the bomb

The bomb that makes this world

Paper thin!


Money markets crumble

Gentle as a drum

But if you see me stumble, I'm

Paper thin!


Life is but a fragile thing

So delicate and pure

An accolade bestowed on us

Paper thin!


So contemplate the skull

The skull beneath the skin

One day we all die, we're

Paper thin


Bury your destruction

In your last battle hymn

The barriers between us, make 'em all

Paper thin! Paper thin!

Paper thin! Paper thin!


Underneath the paper moon

The sky is paper thin

Torn into a thousand shreds

So let the solar system in


Rich and wealthy canvas

Clustered up in jewels

Finding all your heavyweights

Are featherweights and fools


In origami cities

In nations build on sand

Love got bend right outta shape

Nothing ends as planned


And it's all-Paper thin

Paper thin. Paper thin
