John Wetton Paper Talk
I've seen your diamond ring
Shining across the room
Illuminating everything
You're such a star, you know you are, you are
And you've got no time for me
I'm not one you want to see
Your role in society
Dictates to you, a busy man, you've things to do
I understand, but when I call, you're off the wall, you
are
Paper talk is all I get from you
Paper talk all the way
Paper talk it could be baby talk
Paper talk all the way
The man brings champagne for you
You don't have to tell him to
He does, he's expected to
It's the thing to do, for the man of means, you are
And you talk too fast for me
You don't understand ability
Your game is monopoly
The family tree, dates back to when, your pedigree
Betrays to me, those promises, never to be, again
Paper talk is all I get from you
Paper talk all the way
Paper talk it could be baby talk
Paper talk all the way
Your watch is from Cartier
And time's the only price you pay
To me, living day by day
Your noble chin explains to me
Your blue eyes belie insincerity and I despise
The pointless lies, you tell
