Paper Crown - Black

You know you’re where it’s at

But you don’t know where that is

When your friends come round smiling

And greet you with a kiss

Then push you in the dirt from behind

There’s no time like the right time

When the now times wearing thin

For their silver tinsel dresses

And their microwave skin

And their cheap books of romance

I think I’ll take my chances

So I run like I’d run from a flood

Like you know it’s understood

That your golden hair

Was never meant to wear a paper crown

You know that a smile

Is their workaday face

You can’t calculate the effort

Just to keep it in its place

They don’t shoot to kill, they’d always miss

So shoot to wound

Like they’re always searching through your pockets

Like they expect to find a answer

The truth is that the truth is

As commonplace as cancer

If you’d only take the time

You don’t need to seek to find it

Just run like I’d run from a flood

Like you know it’s understood

That your golden hair

Was never meant to wear a paper crown

Run like you’d run for good

Like the rivers running blood

And you see your life flashing by

I run like I’d run from a flood

Like you know it’s understood

That your golden hair

Was never meant to wear

A paper crown

A paper crown

A paper crown

A paper crown
