"Paper Boat" lyrics

"Paper Boat"

You're as great a liar as a lover (lousy)
Your hand me down blouses, pissed on by mouses (lousy)
Shanty town houses
Living in the rubble (doozy)
Still kept to making trouble (woozy)
Throwing rocks at the passing train
It's been a while since it rained

In the desert since December
The coldest I remember
And then a drought
My doubt became my reason
When I spoke with conviction

Get out of my house
Get out of my house
Get out of my house
Get out of my house

You sorry carnival louse
My spouse I suppose
Nobody knows
Which way the wind blows
Without putting in your toes

Lost at sea on a paper boat
Lost at sea on a paper boat
Lost at sea on a paper boat
Lost at sea

I'm lost at sea on a paper boat
With windy hair and a broken heart
But I never been better
But I never been better

I'm lost at sea on a paper boat
With windy hair and a broken heart
But I never been better

Stole my heart
Stole my heart
Stole my heart

Nothing's fair in love and war

Bad news travels fast (doozy)
Stole my heart like that (woozy)

Hear I, manners make the man
Cold and low down, gave my hand
Who said marriages are made in heaven?
Least said soonest mended
This pain is open ended

They said spilled milk
Ain't no use crying over a dog
Ain't no use crying over

Nothing ventured nothing gained
I'm not one to complain
Just a little tea talk here to tell you

Tell ya how, I never been better
I never been better
Tell ya how, I never been better
I never been better
Tell ya how, I never been better
I never been better

Stole my heart
Stole my heart
Stole my heart

Nothing's fair in love and war

Like a harlot on a holy day
Like a harlot on a holy day

Happy as a harlot on a holiday
I'm happy as a harlot on a holiday

I'm lost at sea on a paper boat
With windy hair and a broken heart
But I never been better
But I never been better

I'm lost at sea on a paper boat
With windy hair and a broken heart
But I never been better
But I never been better

I'm lost at sea on a paper boat
With windy hair and a broken heart
But I never been better
But I never been better
