Pencils in the Wind Lyrics

Bret's voice off:
Dear Jemaine, by the time you read this, I will be far far away at Coco's house, and I will no longer be resigning--
And that is just one of the reason why I'm moving out. You didn't seem to understand that--
And the most important thing for me to say is that--
Do you remember the time that seagull--
Yours sincerely,
Bret
J : Lives are like retractable pencils
If you push 'em too hard, they're gonna break
And people are like paper dolls
Paper dolls and people, they're the similar shape, hmm hmm mmm

B : Love is like a roll of tape
It's real good for making two things one
J : But just like that roll of tape
Love sometimes breaks off before you're done

B : Another way that love is similar to tape - that I've noticed - It's sometimes is hard to see the end
You search on the roll (search on the roll)
Search on the roll (search on the roll)
Search on the roll with your fingernail
Again and again and again and again...
And again...

Both : Brown paper, white paper,
Stick it together with the tape, the tape of love
That sticky stuff...

[another scene]
J : Bret!
B : Hey man, what are you doin' here?
J : Murray and I missed you, and we want you to rejoin the band again.
B : Really?
J : Yeah. On one condition.
B : I'm not gonna
J : No just leave it, just leave it
B : Oh no, I'm not gonna leavin it I've told you that. You know, I'm lovin' the band.. but.. I'm not leavin' Coco.
C : I wouldn't mind. I mean if that's what you really wanted-
B : Shoosh,Baby.
C : I-I don't... I don't really see us-as a matter-
B : Shoosh.
J : So what's it gonna be, Bret? The girl or the band?
B : Well, it's gonna be Coco.
J : Oh? Are you sure?
B : Yeah.
J : Oh I was sure you were gonna say the band.
B : No, I'm staying with Coco.
J : I guess you can still win the band.
B : Alright, cool.
J : Okay,
B : Well I'll see you later.
J : Actually I'm gonna wait until the bus stops
Both : Brown paper, white paper,
Stick it together with the tape, the tape of love
That sticky stuff...
J : People people paper paper
paper paper people people
people people pencil pencil
pencil pencil paper paper
Put the pencil to the paper
Give the paper to the people
Let the people read about the tape, oh baby

[another scene]
B : You know Jemaine, I've been thinking about love, and I guess it's the very strongest adhesive.
J : Uh, sorry, Bret, when you were talking to me I was humming. What did you say?
B : Nah. It doesn't matter.

Both : Brown paper, white paper,
Stick it together with the tape, the tape of love
That sticky stuff...
