Rick and wealthy canvas

Clustered up in jewels

Finding all your heavyweights

Are featherweights and fools

Broken all your promises

Broken all your paper plates

Clustered in gold

Crusted in gold

Heavy and hollow

   Look at the shape we're in

Find us here

   Paper thin

Heavy and humble

   Look at the shape we're in

Find us here

   Paper thin

In origami cities

In nations built on sand

Love got bent right outta shape

Things got outta hand

Polystyrene skylines

Papier mache smiles

Rusted and bruised

Tarnished and frail

Heavy and hollow

   Look at the shape we're in

Find us here

   Paper thin

Heavy and humble

   Look at the shape we're in

Find us here

   Paper thin, paper thin, paper thin...

Stars scrape the moon

And the moon scrapes the sky

We stand beneath

Wondering why

Stars scrape the moon

And the moon scrapes the sky

We stand beneath

Wondering why, wondering why

Paper buys the men

The men that make to bomb

The bomb that makes this world

   Paper thin!

Money markets crumble

Gentle as a drum

But if you see me stumble, I'm

   Paper thin!

Life is but a fragile thing

So delicate and pure

An accolade bestowed on us

   Paper thin

So contemplate the skull

The skull beneath the skin

One day we all die, we're

   Paper thin!

Bury your destruction

In your last battle hymn

The barriers between us, make 'em all

   Paper thin! Paper thin!

   Paper thin! Paper thin!

Underneath the paper moon

The sky is paper thin

Torn into a thousand shreds

So let the solar system in

Rick and wealthy canvas

Clustered up in jewels

Finding all your heavyweights

Are featherweights and fools

In origami cities

In nations built on sand

Love got bent right outta shape

Nothing ends as planned

And it's all - Paper thin

   Paper thin. Paper thin
