Pretty Paper Lyrics

She bought her own vacation

Was it money well spent?

And to that old location

Was there any altercation in that

A grammy nomination

And glitter falling off of the cents

The constant imitations

And the summers that I'm spending in bed

Bring in the orchestrations

And the instruments from bullets and led

Carefully illustrated

So that none if it can make any sense

Get hit with limitations

Getting ready and I leave without pants

Morning coffee and the paper

So that I can fit right in with the rants

And it seems it's on my mind more than I

find it, can't be sure

Looking up at pretty paper, could you

ever ever ever want more?

And I get just what I like, now that I find I'm reassured

Giving all my city paper, pretty paper

Could you ever want more?

You said you thought I hate you, well I don't, it's just I think that you're plain

Or am I just too lucid to be traveling through time and through space

I've been through Pennsylvania, but I always end up thinking it's Maine

Or was it Massachusetts? Jersey City's living up to its name

And now I'm getting anxious, and my chest is in a whole lot of pain

I'd say that I just hate this, but it only gives me something to blame

And it seems I'm out of time, or out of line but I can leave

Looking up at pretty paper, could you

ever ever ever believe?

And I get just what I like, I can find it all for sure

Giving all my city paper, pretty paper

Could you ever want more?

Yeah it seems it's on my mind more than I

find it, can't be sure

Looking up at pretty paper, could you

ever ever ever want more?

And I get just what I like, now that I find I'm reassured

Giving all my city paper, pretty paper

Could you ever want more?
