Yeasayer - Blue Paper lyrics

She used to clean up nicely, play dress up
Now she's throwing her clothes away
Says she needs the added space

She used to walk on concrete
Now the sidewalk isn't green enough for her
Says she misses Mother Earth

She keeps on telling me I'm not made for this

So they never give you the time of day
But do you really care?
Oh, no, I don't buy it for a second
Now you say you're finished up with the
Finer life of trawlers and yet
Oh, no, I don't buy it for a second
Now you say you can't find the time
To figure out your left amends
Oh, no, I don't buy it for a second
Now you say you want peace and quiet
But could you really stand
Before your halcyon days were numbered
Make a move become tax exiles, in the desert
You don't choke on the winter's end
And the sky isn't hidden there

You don't need to leave the house when
It's a palace and there's no one to offend
Take a walk every now and then

She keeps on telling me I'm not made for this

So they never give you the time of day
But do you really care?
Oh, no, I don't buy it for a second
Now you say you're finished up with the
Finer life of trawlers and yet
Oh, no, I don't buy it for a second
Now you say you can't find the time
To figure out you left amends
Oh, no, I don't buy it for a second
Now you say you want peace and quiet
But could you really stand
Before your halcyon days were
Numbered, that's another, whole problem

Turn me on your mirror
The other side looks clearer
Write it on blue paper think about it later

Turn me on your mirror
The other side looks clearer
Write it on blue paper think about it later
