They sent you down a paper friend I hear   And you went back on all the vows you once held so dear   There you stretched so calm and quiet   And things looked good now don't deny it   You walked on air for fifteen minutes   And after that there was nothing in it   You don't need those paper friends at all   No you don't need those kind of friends      You say you've lost your sense of time again   Well you've been using that excuse since who knows when   You went the way of all young rebels   Ignore the gods embrace the devils   But they're no good for you in your state   So why not drive them right out of your gates   ¡®cos you don't need those paper friends at all   You don't need those type of friends      No one knows what you're feeling   And life goes on in it's own sweet time   Your passions flame for no reason   You haunt the city for something that shines   Even one thing to rhyme      And if I meet you on the rounds today   I hope you won't turn on your heel or walk away   Yes I know it takes so much effort   But facing up can be so much better   So what if dreams they all come to nothing   Just blow your nose and keep on looking   ¡®cos you don't need those paper friends at all   You don't need those kind of friends   Yes you don't need those paper friends at all   You don't need those paper friends
