PAPER GIRL
(words & music by Francesco Lucarelli)

You took a lot of time
To get out of your shining dress
And to wash away your make-up
You wasted a lot of time
Looking for the true connection
Between a smile and a laugh
You left me waiting
Outside your middle-class dreams
And now you look for something
That love alone can’t give you
When the colours
Of a sleepy dawn and the slow songs
Celebrated the end of what was left
I saw witches burning
And bitches tumbling down
I don’t believe
It was written all before
At the time of walking rivers
And of wrinkles on the stones
Paper girl I don’t love you
Don’t stand so close to me
I don’t like your paper love
It ain’t the kind I need
There’s nowhere for you
To take me anymore
I’m just lost along the freeway
There are sinners
And a lot of paper girls
Maybe I have
Never been 24
But time is running fast
And nothing is still the way it was before
