Up above the distant deadlines
Climb the rolling mountain tide
I caught a glimpse of higher towers
Way beyond the other side
Should have known I'd get distracted
And live each day for its own sake
Drunken shamble evening, I'm so dead
The morning stars evaporate
I spent all my wages
So tie me down with paper cords
It could have been amazing, maybe
But I just got bored
Holding on
To paper swords
I've got friends who nearly love me
And in her arms I feel so warm
She'll never leave and I won't need to change
Cos in her arms I feel unborn
I spent all our wages
And now we've nothing left to hoard
It could have been amazing, maybe
But I just got bored
Holding on, on, on
I'm gonna find a place of safety
Gonna save all my rewards
Cos I just get bored
I just get bored
Waving my paper sword
I just get bored
I just get bored
Playing my paper chord
Tie me down, tie me down, tie me down
