How unreal the whole thing seems
Can we be living in a world made of paper mache?
Read the papers, keep aware
There’s a sale on happiness
Can we be living in a world made of paper mache?
Anything that’s wrong can be just swept away
Spray it with cologne and the whole world smells sweet
Anything that’s wrong can be just swept away
Everything is clean and so neat
Paper people, cardboard dreams
You buy two and it costs less
Spray it with cologne and the whole world smells sweet
Can we be living in a world made of paper mache?
Everything is clean and so neat
Shake your head and knock on wood
Swings and things like bicycles and cars
And if things don’t look so good
Anything that’s wrong can be just swept away
While you’re lounging in your leather chair
Everything is clean and so neat
Spray it with cologne and the whole world smells sweet
Ice cream cones and candy bars
