Russell Morris – Part Three Into Paper Walls lyrics

Part Three Into Paper Walls

(ad-lib fade-up)

I am the real thing…….
Now you know that nothing is real
The only truths are feelings you feel
Seen a picture in my mind
Telling me on and on and on and on and on it goes
On and on and on and on it goes

Life is burning in my soul
The thought of dying leaves me cold
It’s only a picture in my mind
Telling me on and on and on and on and on it goes

On and on and on and on it goes

Seen the light now in my eyes
And a feeling in my soul
And a yearning in my heart

But the story still goes on and on and on and on it goes
On and on and on and on and on it goes

The phony life is getting me down
The inside’s out, and upside is down
Keep seeing this picture in my mind
Telling me on and on and on and on and on

On and on and on and on and on
On and on and on and on and on….

(ad-lib interlude)

In my room I see the wall is painted green and brown
The spread is like those coloured lights, they’re in the heart of town
I think I want to make myself as happy as can be
I’ll find some pretty colours and I’ll pour them over me

Paper walls, that’s where they’ll find me
Paper walls, you look at me – see!
Paper walls, that’s where they’ll find me
Me!

In the street there’s boys and girls, there’s others in the park
I hear their laughter ringing out, I hear their doggies bark
If I can’t be happy like them, happy as can be
I’ll find some pretty colours and I’ll pour them over me

Paper walls, that’s where they’ll find me
Paper walls, you look at me – see!
Paper walls, that’s where they’ll find me
Me!

Colours glowing, colours bright
Colours running in the night
They just sneer, but they don’t hear
To find me there, to live in fear
