Lyrics The 5th Dimension

The 5th Dimension

Paper Cup

Here inside my paper cup

Everything is lookin' up

No one comes in, no one goes out

Nothin' to get hung up about

I'm free and it's so easy to get by

'Cause I don't try

In my paper cup, I have installed

A shower stall across the hall

Running water and a den

It's looking just like home again

I'm free and I've installed refrigerated air

You'd have to look inside

Before you know that I was there

And everybody says I'm quite insane

And someday I'll be going down the drain

I know they're right but I don't care

I feel no pain

Here inside my paper cup

Everything is lookin' up

No one goes out, no one comes in

It's lookin' just like home again

I'm free and it's so easy to get

The things I've always wanted

'Cause I don't really want 'em anymore

An' living ain't so bad without a rudder

An' life is kinda groovy in the gutter

If you know how, and I do

Yeah, and I do, we do too

So if you'd like to come along

We'll sing a little paper song

About a lonely paper plate

Who couldn't find a paper mate

I'm free, yes I'm free

And my life is lookin' up

From inside my paper cup

And I'm always lookin' up

From inside my paper cup

And my life is lookin' up

From inside my paper cup

And I'm always lookin' up

From inside my paper cup
