Lyrics
You see people going home, you can t make the train fare, your clothes are soaking wet
don t be too upset because it s just a paper sun
With the boy that you just met, the boy who had given you so much fun, in the room where you ve been sleeping
When you re feeling tired and lonely, hitching lifts to nowhere
You see people going home, has left you so cold in the paper sun
Has left you so cold in the paper sun, but then again it s nothing
Down your cheek have just begun, down your cheek have just begun
Your meter s all run out, don t be sad
a seagull is stealing the ring from your hand
beneath the paper sun
Good times are had, you can t make the train fare
In the room where you ve been sleeping, fresh cut flowers give me sweet perfume
don t be sad
Kicking sand from beach to beach, standing in the cool of my room Paper, but if you look around and see
with the boy that you just met
Or the sixpence for the phone, the boy who had given you so much fun, you can t make the train fare
You can t make the train fare, too much sun will burn
beneath the paper sun
Hung up on the paper sun, and icicles you re crying
And icicles you re crying, you see people going home
A seagull is stealing the ring from your hand, hung up on the paper sun Paper, with the boy that you just met
you see people going home
Your clothes are soaking wet, daylight breaks while you sleep on the sand, good times are had
Don t be too upset because it s just a paper sun, a seagull is stealing the ring from your hand
hitching lifts to nowhere
And icicles you re crying, you can t make the train fare
A shadow on the run, when you re feeling tired and lonely
You just split when day is done, too much sun will burn
ahh paper sun
Daylight breaks while you sleep on the sand, has left you so cold in the paper sun
Fresh cut flowers give me sweet perfume, kicking sand from beach to beach Paper, cigarettes burn window sills
You can t make the train fare, cigarettes burn window sills Paper, you can t make the train fare
with the boy that you just met
Too much sun will burn, but then again it s nothing Traffic, too much sun will burn
Down your cheek have just begun, but then again it s nothing
so you think you re having good times
Or the sixpence for the phone, with the boy that you just met, down your cheek have just begun
Your meter s all run out, don t be too upset because it s just a paper sun
hitching lifts to nowhere
When you re feeling tired and lonely, has left you so cold in the paper sun
Your meter s all run out, a shadow on the run, but if you look around and see
And icicles you re crying, has left you so cold in the paper sun
daylight breaks while you sleep on the sand
Ahh paper sun, hitching lifts to nowhere
Good times are had, with the boy that you just met Paper, in the room where you ve been sleeping
all your clothes are thrown about
When you re feeling tired and lonely, a seagull is stealing the ring from your hand, standing in the cool of my room
Don t be too upset because it s just a paper sun, kicking sand from beach to beach
Daylight breaks while you sleep on the sand, ahh paper sun Traffic, ahh paper sun
Ahh paper sun, a shadow on the run Sun, so you think you re having good times
And icicles you re crying, a shadow on the run
Kicking sand from beach to beach, but if you look around and see Paper, you see people going home
with the boy that you just met
