Papersnow - The Heads, Andy Partridge

Pink confetti, shotgun wedding

Rocket secrets someones shredding

Nineteenth floor.

Laundry ticket that exploded

Joust with quaker pamphlet goaded

Into war.

Ankle deep we heroes amble

Ankle deep we wade

Ankle deep through someone elses

Ticker tape parade

Softly, softly, softly

Falls papersnow…

Softly, softly, softly

All of our works blow away…

Petals fell on petaluma

Till receipt from montezumas

Burger hut.

Every day a billion dollars

Fall as black and white blue-collars

Plough their rut.

Softly, softly, softly

Falls papersnow…

Softly, softly, softly

All of our works blow away…

Ankle deep we heroes amble

Ankle deep we wade

Ankle deep through someone elses

Ticker tape parade

Jets folded from wall street journal

Shoot down cartons care of colonels

Chicken ranch.

Kleenex where the guys been cryin

Goodbye note from girl whos flyin

To new branch.

Softly, softly, softly

Falls papersnow…

Softly, softly, softly

All of our works blow away…

Letter that Id meant to send you

To torpedo and up-end you

Sheet by sheet.

Tore up all the beg and bitter

Add them to the drift of litter

On your street.

Softly, softly, softly

Falls papersnow…

Softly, softly, softly

All of our works blow away…

Ankle deep we heroes amble

Ankle deep we wade

Ankle deep through someone elses

Ticker tape parade
