Just like a paper tiger

Torn apart by idle hands

Through the helter skelter morning

Fix yourself while you still can

Through the ruins and the weather

Capsized boats in the sea

To see how long nothing lasts

And storms up above

Like a stray dog gone defective

Like a paper tiger in the sun

There's one road to the morning
D D7 Am
There's one road to the truth
D D7 Am
There's one road back to civilization
D D7 Am
But there's no road back to you....
