Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Origami (Or-or-or-ri-o, o-ri-ga-mi)

Origami (Or-or-or-ri-o, o-ri)

[Verse 2]

You got a head full of paper

But baby, nothing like origami

Shredded thoughts and make up

Won't make up for the missing peace of mind

[Verse 3]

I saw you look in the mirror

The scenery was suddenly boring

It's the end of an era

Forever is just a state of mind, you're the last of your kind

[Verse 4]

I stole your diamonds and gold

What are you gonna do?

I stole your diamonds and gold

What are you gonna do about it, do about it?

[Verse 5]

You were blessed with precision

So I took you to the beaches of Bali

It wasn't fate, but decision

Luck was choosing sides

[Verse 6]

Flip the page to a silver age

Life has treated you kindly

The price you pay is your vision

A collision is highly likely

[Verse 7]

I stole your diamonds and gold

What are you gonna do?

I stole your diamonds and gold

What are you gonna do about it, do about it?

I stole your diamonds and gold

What are you gonna do?

I stole your diamonds and gold

What are you gonna do about it, do about it?

[Verse 8]

Origami

[Verse 9]

I stole your diamonds and gold

What are you gonna do?

I stole your diamonds and gold

What are you gonna do about it, do about it?

[Verse 10]

I stole your diamonds and gold

What are you gonna do?

I stole your diamonds and gold

What are you gonna do about it, do about it?
