Lyrics

[00:00.80][Verse 1]
[00:01.89] Just like a paper tiger
[00:08.68] Torn apart by idle hands
[00:15.54] Through the helter skelter morning
[00:22.42] Fix yourself while you still can
[00:29.31] No more ashes to ashes
[00:36.21] No more cinders from the sky
[00:43.00] Let all the laws of creation
[00:49.54] Tell a dead man how to die
[00:56.69][Chorus]
[00:57.54] O deserts down below us
[01:04.60] And storms up above
[01:11.18] Like a stray dog gone defective
[01:18.10] Like a paper tiger in the sun
[01:24.85][Verse 2]
[01:25.14] Looking through a broken diamond
[01:31.77] To make the past what it should be
[01:38.67] Through the ruins and the weather
[01:45.68] Capsized boats in the sea
[01:52.22][Chorus]
[01:52.79] O deserts down below us
[01:59.70] And storms up above
[02:05.79] Like a stray dog gone defective
[02:12.50] Like a paper tiger in the sun
[02:25.15][Bridge]
[02:33.76] We're just holding on to nothing
[02:40.74] To see how long nothing lasts
[02:46.68][Chorus]
[02:47.29] O deserts down below us
[02:53.91] And storms up above
[03:00.49] Like a stray dog gone defective
[03:07.20] Like a paper tiger in the sun
[03:18.94]
[04:04.11][Verse 3]
[04:05.39] There's one road to tomorrow
[04:12.11] There's one road to the truth
[04:18.97] There's one road back to civilization
[04:25.64] But there's no road back to you
[04:32.62]
