Paper Thin Lyrics - My Kind Of Town: The Lost 1993 Chicago Broadcast - John Hiatt

I was gonna get up off that bar stool 

Just as soon as I could figure it out 

Why I was overlooked at the car pool 

Stood up at the dance with no twist and shout 

When you're burnin' with your last desire 

And every memory haunts you 

You write it down in alcohol fire 

'Cause that's the only flame that wants you 

CHORUS: 

When you're paper thin 

Yeah, read all about it 

When you were out of luck, well, luck was doin' alright 

Now you're paper thin 

Yeah, they can see right through ya 

You just cut you're little finger on the edge of the night

Now do I really have to be responsible 

For what I did between those tavern walls 

I was just mixing up some chemicals 

You could've heard a pin drop, could have heard time crawl 

Photos 

And every once in a while 

You could hear you're own heart pound 

Maybe some paper doll with a pasted on smile 

Would let you write her number down 

CHORUS
