Lyrics
Paperweight
you were a hard piece of candy
wrapped in secretly-evil, see-through cellophane
sure were a hard piece of candy
no chewy center, no nougat, only pain
i broke my teeth on your sweetness
my canines are gone with completeness
but I'll never eat you
i'll never eat you
i'll never eat you again.
i was a weight for your papers
a wintery scene with a fat guy and all of his friends
just a watery weight for your papers
shake me up shake me up and the snow falls down
but the weight that was on me is leaving
the ice age has all but retreated
and you'll never chill me
you'll never chill me
you'll never chill me again.
i have to admit i believed the illusion
i have to admit that i bought the whole scam
you can't see now but if you could
you'd see a free man
digging a deep place with your shovel
breaking my back on decidedly difficult rubble
digging a deep place with your shovel
but you'll never know this particular trouble you've caused
a layer of clay only two inches down
is just what I needed to keep you around
and I'll never see you
i'll never see you
i'll never see you again.
