Paperchaser

Swimming through the morning after
Through a sea of champagne
Delighted couple hours later
You're looking for change and you pull out a queen
So you talk to the paperchaser
Over cigarettes and tea
Mister are your eyes even open
You're looking concerned and a little bit mean
I can tell that you're looking at me

So talk to yourself as a sign of the times
Having a dream for a thought's not a crime
And I keep wondering 'round until I get shot down
'Cause I know you're about if I'm low and I need a word

Now you're parachuting out your window
To escape what he really means
Caught in the conversation
A mirror to brash for the mind to leave
'O when time, gets so bitter
You kiss your control away
Sorry to the paperchaser it's far too harsh for the clear of day
I can't scratch what you want me to say

So talk to yourself as a sign of the times
Having a dream for a thought's not a crime
And I keep wondering 'round until I get shot down
'Cause I know you're about if I'm low and I need a word
But I never really quite understood anything that I heard

Farewell to the man who made it
Forgot to bid me adieu
Nothing new in his shallow movings
But when I'm crashing he's coming on cue
You lose yourself in his marble eyes
He doesn't have the time to moan
For he's the you that keeps on moving
The you that doesn't speak too soon
Who's not down when he's out of the news
And he writes to you
Just to tell you

I heard that every little situation
Was bringing you down
And I'd heard that every little situation
Was bringing you down
Bringing you down
Bringing you down
Why won't you come around
No more

Bringing you down
Bringing you down
Bringing you down
Why won't you come around
Love

So why won't you come around
