Tekstovi: Marc Cohn. Marc Cohn Live: Limited Edition EP. Paper Walls.

Well, I had just checked in when the sun came up
After ten hours on the bus
I was staring at the stains on the ceiling, baby
Trying not to think about us

But then someone in room five-oh two
Started doing the thing that we used to do
Every bang, every boom,
It was just like it was happening in my own room

?Cause they?ve got paper walls
Paper walls
Paper walls

I closed the curtain, I shut the light,
I heard the highway moan
Next thing I remember they were having a fight, and then
She was all alone

I heard her cry in the darkest hour,
I heard it echo in the hotel shower,
I heard her start packing her things, so,
I called her number and I heard it ring...

Right through the paper walls
Paper walls,
Paper walls

I?ve never seen such a sight before
The way she looked when she opened the door
Hush now baby don?t make a sound,
When all your love comes a-tumblin? down...

Just like a paper wall
Paper wall
Paper wall

It ain?t the road that kills you
It ain?t the all night calls
It ain?t the road that kills you, baby
It?s just the paper walls
