Paper Wraps Rock

You can never overestimate Garbo

You can never undress Monro

They may have never heard of Plato

But there's one thing they did know

If you want to be desired for a thousand years

Keeping it platonic is a good idea

'Cut it out Socrates, can't we just talk'

Scissors cut paper, but paper wraps rock

Never underestimate Mary

The original virginal bride

Interpretations may vary but I say

God was her piece on the side

Prudence is the proper doxy's friend

The paradox is heaven sent

The wickedest words are in the Good Book

Scissors cut paper, but paper wraps rock

Never underestimate the face of Helen of Troy

The face of a woman who never agrees to please

She's Paris in a drag of plaster and papyrus

That's why they never undress, they never undress

They never undress in this non-stop striptease

Never underestimate the huntress

The protected species of whore

The chariot of Diana Regina's an enormous

Limousine with bulletproof doors

It's rule number one for the wise coquette

Stick a long filter on your cigarette

Shimmer through a window that's twice locked

Scissors cut paper, but paper wraps rock

Never underestimate 'Never'

And you'll live to love another day

A woman never made a living

By giving anything away

If you want to be more major than a majorette

Stay as rigid and as frigid as a statuette

Stay out of the kitchens and the sweatshops

Scissors cut paper, but paper wraps rock

Undress your best behaviour Helen of Troy

Every Green Bus Drives Fast and so does time

Brush off the plaster of Paris

Every Good Boy, Every Good Boy

Every Good Boy Deserves Favour, where's mine?

She will forget you in all except your name

In all except the face you wore

And the empty words you were good at saying

Or else all except the pretentious knots

That covered the paper

That wrapped up rock
