Paperlate

Phil Collins / Tony Banks

Paperlate, paperlate, paperlate, paperlate
Paperlate, I'm sorry but there's no one on the line
Paperlate, I'm sorry but rest easy, no news is good news

It's too easy to live like clockwork
Tick tock watching the world go by
And a change would take too long so dry your eyes
It's too easy to live in a cold sweat
Just sitting dripping in pools below
You can wipe your face, kill the pain, but the fever won't go

Paperlate, pull it together now, put your feet back on the ground
Paperlate, don't worry now, you're not alone, just look around you
Paperlate, I'm sorry but there's no one on the line
Paperlate, I'm sorry but rest easy, no news is good news

It's too easy to compute your future
Taking no risks and playing too
Any change would take too long, so dry your eyes
It's too easy to talk about rocking the boat
Making changes and changing track
But you better not lock that door, 'cos you'll be coming back

You're breathing faster, silence the only sound
There's no need to be nice on the way up
'Cos you're not coming down

Paperlate, paperlate, paperlate, paperlate
Paperlate, paperlate, paperlate, paperlate
Paperlate, I'm sorry but there's no one on the line
Paperlate, I'm sorry but rest easy, no news is good news
