Beck - Paper Tiger lyrics

Just like a paper tiger Torn apart by idle hands Through the helter skelter morning Fix yourself while you still can No more ashes to ashes No more cinders from the sky All the laws of creation Tell a dead man how to die O deserts down below us And storms up above Like a stray dog gone defective Like a paper tiger in the sun Looking through a broken diamond To make the past what it should be Through the ruins and the weather Capsized boats in the sea O deserts down below us And storms up above Like a stray dog gone defective Like a paper tiger in the sun I just hold on to nothing To see how long nothing lasts O deserts down below us And storms up above Like a stray dog gone defective Like a paper tiger in the sun There's one road to the moment There's one road to the truth There's one road back to civilization But there's no road back to you
