Paper Swan Song
Fools have the right
The right to a life
To a life of love
Just like any other kind
But I'm no fool
I'm just some guy
Some guy with a dream
And a turbulent mind
With impermanent signs
Of a life live with love
Fools work all day
Folding away
At paper swans
From dusk till dawn
And out in the streets
Exchange them for eats
Trading dollars and dimes
For some cheap boxed wines
To keep in line
Their most turbulent minds
The swans they sell
Forever entail
A part of them
That will never return
And if never loved
Or when things get tough
They'll fold more swans
And they'll be gone
Gone from the binds
Of a turbulent mind
Oh, trading time
Misplacing comfort of mind
The right to a life
To a life of love
Just like any other kind
But I'm no fool
I'm just some guy
Some guy with a dream
And a turbulent mind
With impermanent signs
Of a life live with love
Fools work all day
Folding away
At paper swans
From dusk till dawn
And out in the streets
Exchange them for eats
Trading dollars and dimes
For some cheap boxed wines
To keep in line
Their most turbulent minds
The swans they sell
Forever entail
A part of them
That will never return
And if never loved
Or when things get tough
They'll fold more swans
And they'll be gone
Gone from the binds
Of a turbulent mind
Oh, trading time
Misplacing comfort of mind
