[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]
