Paper Tiger Lyrics - Sea Change - Beck

Just like a paper tiger 

Torn apart by idle hands 

Through the halter skelter morning 

Fix yourself while you still can 

No more ashes to ashes 

No more cinders from the sky 

And all the laws of creation 

Tell a dead man how to die 

O deserts down below us 

And storms up above 

Like a stray dog gone defective 

Like a paper tiger in the sun

Looking through a broken diamond 

To make the past what it should be 

Through the ruins and the weather 

Capsized boats in the sea 

O deserts down below us 

And storms up above 

Like a stray dog gone defective 

Like a paper tiger in the sun 

I just hold on to nothing 

To see how long nothing lasts

O deserts down below us 

And storms up above 

Like a stray dog gone defective 

Like a paper tiger in the sun 

There is one road to the morning 

There is one road to the truth 

There is one road back to civilization 

But there is no road back to you
