[Verse 1] You hung up there so pretty Over my window frame White as a paper promise Calling my name I reached for your shimmer You turned to dust in my palm Sweet little illusion Setting off the alarm [Pre-Chorus] And I keep falling Into that glow Looks like heaven Until it don’t [Chorus] Paper moon nightmare Pretty then it bites Paper moon nightmare Sweet in the night (hold on) I can’t let go (hold on) you fade so slow Paper moon nightmare Still pulling me close [Verse 2] I saw you in a puddle By the corner store Saw you in a cracked screen Saw you wanting more You wear that silver face now Like you know my weak spot One step and I’m under One look and I forgot [Pre-Chorus] And I keep falling Into that glow Looks like heaven Until it don’t [Chorus] Paper moon nightmare Pretty then it bites Paper moon nightmare Sweet in the night (hold on) I can’t let go (hold on) you fade so slow Paper moon nightmare Still pulling me close [Bridge] If I wake up crying Let me stay a while I know you’re only borrowed But you wear my smile Turn me into nothing Then into a star Paper moon, paper moon How cruel you are [Chorus] Paper moon nightmare Pretty then it bites Paper moon nightmare Sweet in the night (hold on) I can’t let go (hold on) you fade so slow Paper moon nightmare Still pulling me close
