Rich and wealthy canvas  Clustered up in jewels
Finding all your heavyweights  Are featherweights and fools

Broken all your promises  Broken all your paper plates
Clustered in gold  Crusted in gold

Heavy and hollow  Look at the shape we're in   Find us here  Paper thin
Heavy and humble  Look at the shape we're in  Find us here  Paper thin

In origami cities  In nations built on sand
Love got bent right outta shape  Things got outta hand

Polystyrene skylines  Papier mâché smiles
Rusted and bruised  Tarnished and frail

Heavy and hollow  Look at the shape we're in   Find us here  Paper thin
Heavy and humble  Look at the shape we're in  Find us here  Paper thin

Stars scrape the moon  And the moon scrapes the sky
We stand beneath  Wondering why

Stars scrape the moon  And the moon scrapes the sky
We stand beneath  Wondering why, wondering why

Paper buys the men  The men that make the bomb
The bomb that makes this world  Paper thin!

Money markets crumble  Gentle as a drum
But if you see me stumble, I'm  Paper thin!

Life is but a fragile thing  So delicate and pure
An accolade bestowed on us  Paper thin

So contemplate the skull  The skull beneath the skin
One day we'll all die, we're  Paper thin!

Bury your destruction  In your last battle hymn
The barriers between us, make 'em all
Paper thin! Paper thin!  Paper thin! Paper thin!

Underneath the moon  The sky is paper thin
Torn into a thousand shreds  So let the solar system in

Rich and wealthy canvas  Clustered up in jewels
Finding all your heavyweights  Are featherweights and fools

In origami cities  In nations built on sand
Love got bent right outta shape  Nothing ends as planned

And it's all - Paper thin  Paper thin. Paper thin
