Paper Moon

もっと酔わせてね あなたの胸で 生きる辛さをね 忘れさせてね ペイパー・ムーンは裏町のパブ ペイパー・ムーンは別れ話にお似合いね 心配しないで私なら 明日の行方もヒラヒラ 紙切れのような青春だわ ついてないのよね あなたと私 星のめぐりがね 合わなかったの でもいつか やるせない日に ペイパー・ムーンでたまに逢えればいいじゃない ペイパー・ムーンは裏町のパブ ペイパー・ムーンは淋しがりやの吹きだまり いつわりだらけの都会でも もしも愛が真実なら 銀紙の月も輝くはず 生きていようよね 駄洒落のように いつか涙流して笑う日も来る 淋しくて眠れぬ夜は ペイパー・ムーンでたまに逢えればいいじゃない

We were talking in the dark skies About how people change You told me that you've never found a love That stayed the same You asked me what I was thinking What I was holding in I told you that I never wanted to end up like they did All they say they'll give you the stars, and they'll lasso the moon Well that's just a little too far or a little untrue I hope it's enough, it's the best I can do I can't reach the real one, so I'll make you Paper moon Paper moon Paper moon You can hang it on your ceiling Or keep it by your door I know it doesn't shine as bright at night But it's all yours I promise that I'll love you And it's a promise I can keep I hope you always feel the most at home When you're with me Oh they say they'll give you the stars, and they'll lasso the moon Well that's just a little too far or a little untrue I hope it's enough, it's the best I can do I can't reach the real one, so I'll make you Paper moon Paper moon Paper moon

I never feel a thing is real When I'm away from you Out of your embrace The world's a temporary parking place Mmm, mm, mm, mm A bubble for a minute Mmm, mm, mm, mm You smile, the bubble has a rainbow in it Say, its only a paper moon Sailing over a cardboard sea But it wouldn't be make-believe If you believed in me Yes, it's only a canvas sky Hanging over a muslin tree But it wouldn't be make-believe If you believed in me Without your love It's a honky-tonk parade Without your love It's a melody played in a penny arcade It's a Barnum and Bailey world Just as phony as it can be But it wouldn't be make-believe If you believed in me

It's been a couple months since I moved in all my stuff But this place still don't feel like it's my home And everybody thinks that we're the poster kids for love But we lay in bed and make love to our phones Even at our lowest low, we don't ever let it show We both know we shouldn't be together But we look good on paper We keep foolin' all the neighbors They think we've got a perfect life 'Cause they don't hear us when we fight, so We look good on paper Then we fall apart later Then we fall apart later Friday night when we go out and meet all of our friends You're in that little black dress that I like Posin' for a photograph, we smile and play pretend Is there any part of you that's tired of that? Even at our lowest low, we don't ever let it show We both know we shouldn't be together But we look good on paper We keep foolin' all the neighbors They think we've got a perfect life 'Cause they don't hear us when we fight, so We look good on paper Then we fall apart later Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Then we fall apart later Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Then we fall apart later Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Then we fall apart later Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh It's been a couple months since I moved in all my stuff But this place still don't feel like it's my home I don't wanna waste your time I know I'm just wastin' mine So, tell me why the hell we're still together? Is it 'cause we look good on paper? We keep foolin' all the neighbors They think we've got a perfect life 'Cause they don't hear us when we fight, so We look good on paper Then we fall apart later Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Then we fall apart later Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Then we fall apart later Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Then we fall apart later Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
