Chic Gamine Paper Moon
Paper moon
Why do you shine so softly bright
Swallowing the rays of light
And holding them over the night
Paper moon
When will your cool light fall
Forgiving anything at all
Even the darkness swelling
So as the day grows cold and dull
Your eyes fragile beckon to all
The lovers who howl up to you
Paper moon
Cut out of my heart
Cut out of my heart
Paper heart
Cut out of pain and sorrow
With nothing left but hollows
Where wings once beat like a drum
Paper moon
Mysterious and lonely
I gather your light to me
As comfort for my paper heart
So as the day grows cold and dull
Your eyes fragile beckon to all
The lovers who howl up to you
Paper moon
Cut out of my heart
Cut out of my heart
Cut out of my heart
Cut out of my heart
Paper moon
Why do you shine so softly bright
Swallowing the rays of light
And holding them over the night
