Paper Girls - Vertigo

She stays silent, but her mind is in a whirl

But he makes her spill with the flick of a switch

He knows how to take her, break down and burn her

And life goes on without a hitch

She says he makes her feel beautiful, she’s never had that before

As she dances on his lips

The stale smell of cigarettes, drowning in flavored Burnett’s

She’s got nowhere else to be

I’ve grown weary of your selling out

You want to say I’m a mess?

Well take a look at yourself

You slip from your heels as you fall from your dress

I’d like to think you’re alright

Maybe stay in tonight?

No, I can’t handle all these paper girls

You can look at her face and tell that something’s amiss

When she can’t even tell you who he’s been with

He’s been running and diving in bars with low lighting

Having a drink with one of her friends

I’ve grown weary of your selling out

I know more than you could ever know

You want to say I’m a mess?

Well take a look at yourself

You slip from your heels as you fall from your dress

I’d like to think you’re alright

Maybe stay in tonight?

No, I don’t know

Maybe it’s the way that he walked

Maybe it’s the way that he talked

Maybe it’s the way that he walked

Oh I can’t handle all these paper girls
