Paper Lace Lyrics

Sunset Rubdown Paper Lace

I heard you’re suffering
Come be a wild thing
Come run with Jackie, me, and this lady

The stupid house you made
Fell away like paper lace
Come run with Jackie, me, and this lady

And when you’re done
Crying to everyone
You can go back to your good home
She will be tired
But she’ll be glad
When you go back to your good home

Paper burns
And paper fades
And paper crumbles into ugly shapes
Come run with Jackie, me, and this lady

And when you’re done
Crying to everyone
You will go back to your good home
She will be tired
But she’ll be glad
When you go back to your good home

And when she’s done
Dancing with everyone
She will go back to her good home
She will be tired
From loving everyone
But she’ll be glad that you’re back home

But for now!
Until you’re home
You ride with us
There was no way you could’ve known
About the things she didn’t know she couldn’t trust

Oh sanctuary!
Oh sanctuary!
Oh sanctuary!
Oh, for now! (Oh sanctuary!)
Until you’re home! (Oh sanctuary!)
You ride with us! (Oh sanctuary!)
There was no way you could’ve known (Oh sanctuary!)
About the things she didn’t know she couldn’t trust!
(Oh sanctuary!)
Oh sanctuary!
Oh sanctuary!
Oh what’s in the world?
What’s in the world?
What’s in the hearts
Of pretty girls?
There’s nothing left inside the room you filled with
lionskins and laurels
Those were good ideas
But they weren’t diamonds and pearls!

The stupid house you made
Fell away like paper lace
