Paper Tiger - Album Version

Preview Full Track

Lyricist: Beck     Composer: Beck


Just like a paper tiger
Torn apart by idle hands
Through the helter-skelter morning
Fix yourself while you still can

No more ashes to ashes
No more cinders from the sky
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
《间奏》
We're just holding 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

{间奏}
There's one road to the morning
There's one road to the truth
There's one road back to civilization
But there's no road back to you
