I'm the paper man I witnessed you drop your papers And refused to help Because I'm a rolling paper I'm never stationary When I float in paper planes My life starts tearing When your presence equals pain For I only saw you With my paper view We couldn't be two When you're pay-per-view I live a paper life When the date never leaves the calendar And people enjoy the satisfaction of cutting me Like I'm construction paper So I build to block them away My face becomes paper mache Searching for another way I found relief in a bottle in a paper bag It wasn't long until I saw the red flags In the government serving me my papers Even though I denounced them as takers They kept pushing paper My life regimented by municipalities Burying me in paperwork Like the employment I attained To make my life spill off the page And bleed into your's Otherwise Life's a paper chore And the pirates keep stealing papyrus That's alright I've become the paper King Midas
