A Paper Dream

Pain is blue

Wherever she goes

Don't play it cool

When the music is on

You'll never feel it's right

When the night breaks your heart in two

There's a backbeat blues

On the echoing night

There ain't no love, or maybe one or two

And I don't wanna let you down

Oh, when the drums start coming through the bar

A paper dream

It's not just for someone else

You know, it's a paper dream

When you feel so old, and you feel like nothing

A paper dream

Does it make you feel like no one else

When the band is singing all of your life

Boys are fools

And no love is on time

Girls in the mood

It it our typical lie?

Oh, can't you see?

When never know when the lights go out

It's a big, big world

And it's nothing at all

I gotta sing what's never sung in the rain

And the silly little dream you have

It will never bring you down

You will get it

A paper dream

It's not just for someone else

You know, it's a paper dream

When you feel so old, and you feel like nothing

A paper dream

Does it make you feel like no one else?

When the band is singing all of your life

A paper dream

It's not just for someone else

You know, it's just the way you feel

When you put the same records on again and again

A paper dream

Does it make you feel like no one else?

When the band is singing all of your life

Whoa-oh-oh

A paper dream

A paper dream

A paper dream

Does it make you feel like no one else?

When you feel like singing all of your life?
