lyrics

Last night I saw the Paper People
Right there one the painted walls
Climbing up the church house steeples
Hanging out in hallowed halls

When they thought I wasn't looking
They'd lean and whisper in my ear
't was some plot that they were cooking
To lull me in to staying here

(chorus)
But I am only here to visit
I have no desire to stay
When I leave here, I won't miss it
It will all soon wash away
It will all soon wash away

Rain was falling, just my luck it
Seemed it would keep pouring down
They scurried 'round will little buckets
To catch the rain to sell in town

They knew the people there would buy it
Use it to complete some task
No clue why, they don't deny it
I walked away afraid to ask

(chorus)

(bridge)
Some cosmic shuffle for Orion's Belt
Betelgeuse shuffled - from the bottom dealt
And no one saw...
...they just stood in awe

So, if you see those Paper People
Tell them I have gone away
They can yell at me from the church house steeple
There's no way that I can stay

(chorus)
