Paper Life
Anu Kirk
Got the full package
House, spouse, kids, cars
Got some nice extras
Fancy bourbon, old guitars
Sisyphus with a laundry basket
At the kitchen sink
Can't hear over this racket
Can't even think
On paper it looks alright
Another day in this paper life
Chase that paper, fight the fight
Another day in this paper life
Living like a king
In the shadow of the guillotine
None of it means a thing at all
Holding my breath until the fall
It will all just be swept away
Confetti after the parade
Pictures and words hung in a frame
Crumpled and torn, starting to fade
On paper it looks alright
Another day in this paper life
Wrapped up and covered tight
Another day in this paper life
