Words & music by paul simon      M-m, paraphernalia   Never hides your broken bones   And I don't know why   You want to try   Mm, it's plain to see you're on your own   Uh, huh, I ain't blind, no   Some folks are crazy   Others walk that borderline   Watch what you're doing   Taking downs to get off to sleep   And ups to start you on your way   After a while they'll change your style   M-m-m, I see it happening every day   Uh, huh spare your heart   Everything put together   Sooner or later falls apart   There's nothing to it, nothing to it   You can cry   You can lie   For all the good it'll do you   You can die   But when it's done   And the police come, and they lay you down for dead   Uh, huh, just remember what I said
