They sent you down a paper friend I hear and you went back on all the vows you once held so dear There you stretched so calm and quiet and things looked good now don't deny it You walked on air for fifteen minutes and after that there was nothing in it You don't need those paper friends at all no you don't need those kind of friends You say you've lost your sense of time again well you've been using that excuse since who knows when You went the way of all young rebels ignore the Gods embrace the Devils But they're no good for you in your state so why not drive them right out of your gates 'Cos you don't need those paper friends at all you don't need those type of friends No one knows what you're feeling and life goes on in its own sweet time Your passions flame for no reason you haunt the city for something that shines even one thing to rhyme And if I meet you on the rounds today I hope you won't turn on your heel or walk away Yes I know it takes so much effort but facing up can be so much better So what if dreams they all come to nothing just blow your nose and keep on looking 'Cos you don't need those paper friends at all you don't need those kind of friends Yes you don't need those paper friends at all you don't need those paper friends
