A pa... per sun

[repeat intro]

Verse 2:

In the room where you've been sleeping

All your clothes are thrown about

Cigarettes burn window sills

Your meter's all run out

But then again its nothing

You just split when day is done

Pitching lips [?] to nowhere, hung up on the paper sun

[repeat chorus]

[repeat intro]

Bridge:

D5 [w/sitar as per intro]

Standing in the cool of my room

Fresh cut flowers give me sweet perfume

Too much sun will burn

D F G D

(Too much sun will burn)

Too much sun will burn

D F G D

(Too much sun will burn)

Verse 3:

When you're feeling tired and lonely

You see people going home

You can't make the train fare

Or the sixpence for the phone

And icicles you're crying

From your cheek have just begun

Don't be sad, good times are had

Beneath the paper sun

[repeat chorus]

Coda [separated from "Paper Sun", titled "We're A Fade, You Missed This",

and moved to last track of US LP]

Asus4 A

Daylight breaks while you sleep on the sand

Asus4 A

A seagull is stealing the ring from your hand

Asus4 A

That boy who had given you so much fun

Asus4 A

Has left you so cold in the paper sun

(continue and fade)
