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
