A Bigger Paper Bag Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Dance like a butterfly and drink like a fish
If you're bent on taking demons down with only your fist
And I've never known anyone who could lose himself in a bigger paper bag
The weaker the signal, the sweeter the noise
Hunching over an instrument that you now employ
Like the starvation army needs a marching piano in the band
Are you feeling used? I do

[Chorus 1]
Oh, I was pissing on the flame
Like a child with cash or a king on cocaine
I've got the world by the balls
Am I supposed to behave?

[Post-Chorus]
What a fraud
What a con
You're the only one I love

[Verse 2]
It's easy to assume that you've built some rapport
With a someone who only likes you for what you like yourself for
Okay, you be my mirror but remember there are only a few angles I tend to prefer
I'm only here to serve

[Chorus 2]
Oh, I was pissing on the flame
Like a child with cash or a king on cocaine
I've got the world by the balls
Am I supposed to behave?
Oh, I was dancing 'round the flame
Like a high-wire act with a "who, me?" face
I was living on nothing but water and cake

[Post-Chorus]
What a fraud
What a con
You're the only one I love

[Outro]
One I love, one I love
