Paperweights Lyrics by Dance, Jenny

La Música Pop

2005

Oh, the embarassed waiter
Oh, the look upon his face
Oh, the girl who took his place

See him spill some water
And when the patrons look away
He tells you all about his day

He says these packs of Parliaments are only paperweights
And these counterfeit bills are bookmarks, I swear
I'm saving this bourbon for a special occasion
Like when the bookmarks pay for a vacation

He says he’ll call you later
So what's the preferred time of day
And what's the fastest way to change
He says these packs of Parliaments are only paperweights
(And where’s the cabs that run this late)
And these counterfeit bills are bookmarks, I swear
(And if I see another plate)
I'm saving this bourbon for a special occasion
Like when the bookmarks pay for a vacation

A vacation from myself
And my declining health
My penmanship woes
And unreturned phone calls

The unreturned phone calls
The unreturned phone calls
