Leaving Paper City

We've got to capture everything,
It's going to take some extra time
We're going to need this by morning but you don't mind?

Those figures danced you know,
But you're not the only one
Where are the details that I need, do you have that done?

I held the matches in my hands but I only ever struck concern
Leaving Paper City, leaving Paper City
Going to watch the whole thing burn

I'm sorry I can't make it tonight I have had a change of plans
I've got to get this thing done and I am sure you understand
I saw those figures dancing, mine moved across the page
All the time that I've put in could never justify this wage

Between these sheets alone, I could feel my heart yearn
Leaving Paper City, leaving Paper City,
Going to watch the whole thing burn

And in these empty lines, I have hidden all my fears
That you might look for me and find that I was never here

Leaving Paper City, leaving Paper City,
Going to watch the whole thing burn,
I'm leaving Paper City and I won't return

Leaving Paper City,
No, I won't return.
