Paper Tiger

Just like a paper tiger
 Torn apart by idle hands
 Through the halter skelter morning
 Fix yourself while you still can
 No more ashes to ashes
 No more cinders from the sky
 And 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
 ♪
 I just hold 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
 ♪
 There is one road to the morning
 There is one road to the truth
 There is one road back to civilization
 But there is no road back to you
