Paper Thin

Post by jeff robertson »

Hey there Kitty won't you get yourself over here
daddy got something that he wants to make really clear
I know you been messin' where you really know you shouldn't a been
I caught your with your paws in the cookie jar again

Chorus:
I don't wanna hear what your excuse is gonna be this time.
I don't wanna hear what your excuse is gonna be this time.
Oh no.
Hell no.
Oh no.
No No NO NO!!
Pretty little Kitty's not gonna get away with it this time.
Pretty little Kitty's not gonna get away with it this time.

Four A.M. is when you come draggin' home
lookin like been to an orgy outta Ancient Rome
You think you got me fooled but you know that I'm gonna win.
All of your lies and stories are paper thin.

(repeat chorus)

there you go struttin' around like you own the place
shakin' your stuff right in my fuckin' face
if I was a pirate don't ya know I'd make ya walk the plank!
Kitty don't behave for Daddy, Daddy's gonna hafta spank!

(repeat chorus)

noah mclaughlin

what have you done?
where have you been?
how long 'til we can go home?
you know your lies
are paper thin
it's easy to see through your soul

i know there's so much (so, so much)
you feel there's no time (no, no time)
as we wind through the back streets
love left behind

what time is it?
how far away?
what have you changed in me?
you signed away
souls paper thin
your promise goes hooking in fear

i know there's so much (so, so much)
you feel there's no time (no, no time)
as we wind through the back streets
love left behind

have you the time?
spare any change?
i'm thirsty, i'm starving for you
my name is mud
heart paper thin
you drag me behind your love

i know there's so much (so, so much)
you feel there's no time (no, no time)
as we wind through the back streets
love left behind

don't leave me
leave me behind

Paper Thin - No Horse Town

Spent about a year now on John Paper's farm
and it's the festival of thanks, and I gotta wave,
and I can barely lift my arm
Before I was a member I think I remember thinkin'
I would try it for a week - I could always leave
I was psyched to be a vegan

Father Paper taught us all how protein is a sin
and only goats eat rice, and beans are Satan's lies,
so just like Christ we must be paper thin
We had no flax, had no omega acid
We ate grapes and romaine til we were wholly drained and flaccid

Now, as the chosen fill the aisles,
Paper consecrates the vials of wheat germ
that'll keep us safe until next season
I feel a weightlessness as I crash through the crowd
I grab and guzzle every one of them down
I'm seized by Satan's power

...

I'll taste cake, and cheesesteak
I'll take the super-sized fries with an eskimo pie and a milkshake
Eight crepes on the intake
Pastrami on rye with hydrogenized dye for its own sake
There's a place where a total stranger will give you their blood...

Paper Thin by Paco del Stinko

Your lies scurry like rats
When I look into you
And your belfry of bats
Holds the cobwebbed truth
You can breathe your fire
Try and cast your spell
You're just another transparent liar
On your way down to hell

I can see through your skin
It's paper thin

I can see your veins
Outside they look blue
Sometimes it pours when it rains
And I'll offer the proof

I can see through your skin
It's paper...

I'll tear open your flesh, to expose your insides
You've done too much to too many, and you've killed with your lies
Now it's your turn to die, your turn to die!

You have a legacy of shame
Your dignity surrendered
The disgrace of your name
Is how you'll always be remembered

I can see through your skin
It's paper thin
Bringin' the stink since 2006.

Paper Thin

There's something about the way that you look
With your tie and your glasses and your nose in a book
When I looked in your eyes I read you like a magazine:
A little cheap and glossy and telling of a sex machine

And I want you to know you wear me paper thin
And you don't seem to notice the state you've got me in
Librarian boy, why do you enjoy frustrating me?

If I could rearrange the alphabet
I'd put U and I together
With my wits and your grammar, we'd make the perfect team
My darling, we'd be birds of a feather

And I want you to know you wear me paper thin
And you don't seem to notice the state you've got me in
Librarian boy, I'd share my bok choy with you any day

As you walk toward me tall and geeky
The electricity is freaky
Why don't you Dewey Decimal me?
It's time we stopped this atrocity

And I want you to know you wear me paper thin
And you don't seem to notice the state you've got me in
Librarian boy, you do annoy me
binary solo!

with you
I could just be myself
I thought there was time
but it collapsed in on itself

to say that I cared
but to know I'm too late
to give you my love
and just clean the slate

I've never been so close
So I got a little scared
I pushed you away
But I always cared

I knew you would cry
but I though you'd mend
I didn't know your heart
was paper thin

Paper Thin by Sven mullet

You float in like a butterfly
I'm happy to see you but at the same time
I get nervous I can't seem to clear my throat or mind
Everything about you makes me wanna run and hide

When you're near me I get butterflies
You say you like me but I can't decide
Is this worth it all the mixed up feelings leave me shy
Everything I'm feeling makes me wanna let this die

I wanna crush you like you crush me suffocate me
This is obscene why you so mean? Do you hate me?
This is bad sin spread me paper thin spill my guts out
I won't feel love till I let the butterflies out

Paper Thin
by Billy's Little Trip, featuring Steve Durand and Aardwolves

first verse-
You're so easily offended,
In control of your space
Right down to your steel toed Docs,
With the purple paisley lace

chorus-
I can feel myself floating in the air
Every time that you're around, round, round, round me
Mrs Paperthin, Mrs Paperthin

second verse-
You always fill my head,
With happenstance and truth
Decays my brainless bone,
You've got a very sweet tooth

chorus-
I can feel myself floating in the air
Every time that you're around, round, round, round me
Mrs Paperthin, Mrs Paperthin

vocal bridge-
I once knew this girl, yeah she was pretty sweet
She wore her hair in a bun, and she liked to read
I wanted to tell her about what she meant to me,
and then she turned and went, shhhh!

third verse-
Please keep it down
Can't you read the sign?
Don't bend it like that
You're going to break the spine

chorus X3
I can feel myself floating in the air
Every time that you're around, round, round, round me
Mrs Paperthin, Mrs Paperthin

Paper Thin
by Primitive Screwheads

I'm staring at the page again
My characters are the enemy, not my friends
Empty words for lifeless dreams
I'm killing forests ream by ream

The hero sits inside a bar
He tips the waitress, then he goes out to his car

It's getting underneath my skin
They're not even cardboard, they're paper thin

Chorus
I just can't take it (x?)

My agent called me once again
I spent the advance, now there's no cash left to send
Whatever will become of me?
I don't even care now, 'cause I'm free

Chorus & Out
