Lyrics
Woman made of paper
Understand me now
This time they got you by the ears
You might be nothing
Or just a footprint
But they been watching you for years
It's a strange
fascination
It's a bliss
It's a beggar's bliss
A double dance
For 20 dollars
You may be crooked but not cheap
Go ahead make a mistake
That's what you're made of
They been watching you for years
And in the shadow of a candlestick
You face appears
Quickly now's the time
Why are we waiting?
Uptown, downtown
I could care less
I been watching you for years
Understand me now
This time they got you by the ears
You might be nothing
Or just a footprint
But they been watching you for years
It's a strange
fascination
It's a bliss
It's a beggar's bliss
A double dance
For 20 dollars
You may be crooked but not cheap
Go ahead make a mistake
That's what you're made of
They been watching you for years
And in the shadow of a candlestick
You face appears
Quickly now's the time
Why are we waiting?
Uptown, downtown
I could care less
I been watching you for years
