Paper Tiger

Just like a paper tiger

Torn apart by idle hands

Through the halter skelter morning

Fix yourself while you still can

No more ashes to ashes

No more cinders from the sky

And 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

We're just holding 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 is one word to the morning

There is one word to the truth

There is one word back to civilization

Well there is no word back to you
