Up above the distant deadlines 

Climb the rolling mountain tide 

I caught a glimpse of higher towers 

Way beyond the other side 

Should have known I'd get distracted 

And live each day for its own sake 

Drunken shamble evening, I'm so dead 

The morning stars evaporate 



I spent all my wages 

So tie me down with paper cords 

It could have been amazing, maybe 

But I just got bored 

Holding on 

To paper swords 



I've got friends who nearly love me 

And in her arms I feel so warm 

She'll never leave and I won't need to change 

Cos in her arms I feel unborn 



I spent all our wages 

And now we've nothing left to hoard 

It could have been amazing, maybe 

But I just got bored 

Holding on, on, on 



I'm gonna find a place of safety 

Gonna save all my rewards 

Cos I just get bored 

I just get bored 

Waving my paper sword 

I just get bored 

I just get bored 

Playing my paper chord 



Tie me down, tie me down, tie me down
