i go walking under a paper moon
all the birds are singing
singing you a pretty tune
all the constellations and all the stars above
they all start to whistling
they start singing along
the world is not a monster
and i'm not scared at all
floating through your heavens
the world is in my arms
oh rainy day
don't follow me
cause i'm her baby doll
and she's my cup of tea
i go walking under a paper moon
and my eyes are made of crystals
plastic flowers bloom
all the leaves are changing
and the skies are blue
all the seasons of distraction
can't take the smile god's given you
the world is but a monster
and i'm not scared at all
i'm floating through the heavens
the world is in my arms
oh rainy day
don't follow me
cause i'm her baby doll
she's my cup of tea
love takes care of love
hate just burns you out
