Paper Mache Lyrics

Twenty houses in a row
eighty people watch a TV show
paper people, cardboard dreams
how unreal the whole thing seems
Can we be living in a world
made of paper mache
everything is clean and so neat
anything that's wrong
can be just swept away
spray it with cologne
and the whole world smells sweet

Ice-cream cones and candy bars
swings and things like bicycles and cars
there is a sale on happiness
you buy two and it costs less
Can we be living in a world
made of paper mache
everything is clean and so neat
anything that's wrong
can be just swept away
spray it with cologne
and the whole world smells sweet

Read the papers keep aware
While you're lounging in your leather chair
And if things don't look so good
shake your head and knock on wood
Can we be living in a world
made of paper mache
everything is clean and so neat
anything that's wrong
can be just swept away
spray it with cologne
and the whole world smells sweet

Like paper mache
