Xtc - Papersnow lyrics

Pink confetti, shotgun wedding Rocket secrets someone's shredding Nineteenth floor. Laundry ticket that exploded Joust with quaker pamphlet goaded Into war. Ankle deep we heroes amble Ankle deep we wade Ankle deep through someone else's Ticker tape parade Softly, softly, softly Falls papersnow... Softly, softly, softly All of our works blow away... Petals fell on petaluma Till receipt from montezuma's Burger hut. Every day a billion dollars Fall as black and white blue-collars Plough their rut. Softly, softly, softly Falls papersnow... Softly, softly, softly All of our works blow away... Ankle deep we heroes amble Ankle deep we wade Ankle deep through someone else's Ticker tape parade Jets folded from wall street journal Shoot down cartons care of colonel's Chicken ranch. Kleenex where the guy's been cryin' Goodbye note from girl who's flyin' To new branch. Softly, softly, softly Falls papersnow... Softly, softly, softly All of our works blow away... Letter that i'd meant to send you To torpedo and up-end you Sheet by sheet. Tore up all the beg and bitter Add them to the drift of litter On your street. Softly, softly, softly Falls papersnow... Softly, softly, softly All of our works blow away... Ankle deep we heroes amble Ankle deep we wade Ankle deep through someone else's Ticker tape parade
