Paper Flowers

You seem like a girl who likes to tell her bed is made

You seem like a girl who likes to wear her pearls

Well I'm not the type who likes to dwell,

Save my money, or kiss and tell, ooo yeah

Oh why does she water them

Paper flowers

This girl walks up so graciously

Slips something in my pocket so secretly

I said "honey, what's this you gave to me?"

"Oh nothing, water, wait and see."

I said "paper flowers, they can't grow!"

"Give 'em water and let me know,

Give 'em water and let me know

Give 'em water and let me know."

Oh why does she water them, paper flowers?

Paper flowers

Oh why does she water them, paper flowers?

Paper flowers

She's dressed in black as you can see

She tries so damn hard to be the enemy

She's got big black boots, get ouuta the way

She wants to kick tomorrow, punch yesterday

Kick tomorrow, punch yesterday

Oh why does she water them, paper flowers?

Paper flowers

Turn a light on, turn a different light on

Turn a light on, turn a different light on now!

Turn a light on, turn a different light on

Turn a light on, turn a different light on now!

Yeah

Oh why does she water them, paper flowers

Paper flowers

Ooo paper flowers

Those paper flowers

P-p-paper flowers
