Paperweight Lyrics

All the memories, all of the times, and

All the pictures we laughed and smiled in

Well, it seems they were all just a lie

Don't spray another poisoned word at me

Lookin' back, it was not surprisin'

Even if I had not surmised it

Nevertheless, I'm gonna survive

You've played your final toyin' game with me

You know that shot of our hot sunrise in Japan?

I burned the photo

But the frame will make a damn fine paperweight

I'm gonna trash the thoughts, and break away

Peel the scab, and wash the stain away

Go dancin' all the pain away

I'm gonna dance it all

Dance it all

Dance it all away

I hope you find some guy who can stand ya

And that you purchase a nice new camera

And when he sees through your decorative plan

He'll tear that thing apart, and watch you fade

They'll ostracize and brand ya

And no hook will ever care to land ya

And I'll be jitterbuggin', drink in hand

'Cos buried snapshots are your only trace

You know that picture of us dining in Scotland?

I hurled the photo

But the frame will make a damn fine paperweight

I'm gonna trash the thoughts, and break away

Peel the scab, and wash the stain away

Go dancin' all the pain away

I'm gonna dance it all

Dance it all

Dance it all away

You know that shot of us streaking in Amsterdam?

I kept the photo

Plus, the frame will make a damn fine

Paperweight
