|
Twenty houses in a row
|
eighty people watch a TV show
|
paper people, cardboard dreams how unreal
|
the whole thing seems
|
|
Can we be living in a world made of paper mache
|
everything is clean and so neat
|
anything that's wrong can be just swept away
|
spray it with cologne and the whole world
|
smells sweet
|
|
Ice-cream cones and candy bars
|
swings and things
|
like bicycles and cars
|
there is a sale on happiness
|
you buy two and it costs less
|
|
Can we be living in a world made of paper mache
|
everything is clean and so neat
|
anything that's wrong can be just swept away
|
spray it with cologne and the whole world
|
smells sweet
|
|
Read the papers keep aware
|
While you're lounging
|
in your leather chair
|
And if things don't look so good
|
shake your head and knock on wood
|
|
Can we be living in a world made of paper mache
|
everything is clean and so neat
|
anything that's wrong can be just swept away
|
spray it with cologne and the whole world
|
smells sweet
|
|
Like paper mache.
