Lyrics
So you think you’re having good times with a boy that you just met, (Paper Sun)
Kicking sand from beach to beach, your clothes all soaking wet.
But if you look around and see a shadow on the run, (on the run)
Don’t be too upset because it’s just a Paper Sun.
Oh, Paper Sun, oh, Paper Sun.

In the room where you’ve been sleeping, all your clothes are thrown about, (Paper Sun)
Cigarettes burn window sills, your meters all run out.
But there again it’s nothing, you just split when day is done, (day is done)
Hitching lifts to nowhere hung upon the Paper Sun.
Oh, Paper Sun, oh, Paper Sun.

Standing in the cool of my room,
Fresh cut flowers give me sweet perfume.
Too much sun will burn (too much sun will burn).
Too much sun will burn (too much sun will burn).

When you’re feeling tired and lonely, you see people going home, (Paper Sun)
You can’t make the train fare or the six pence for the ‘phone.
And icicles you’re crying, down your cheek have just begun, (just begun)
Don’t be sad, good times are had beneath the Paper Sun.

Daylight breaks while you sleep on the sand,
A seagull is stealing the ring from your hand.
The boy that had given you so much fun,
Has left you to burn in the Paper Sun.
Oh, Paper Sun.
