Paper Lanterns (Zero Return) Lyrics by Shipping News

Flies the Fields

2005

[Verse 1]
Feel so imperfect
Now your body, it feels
Feel so imperfect
Now your body, it feels like
Words become obscure
Underwater
Words become obscure
Underwater

[Verse 2]
Feel so imperfect
Now your body, it feels
Feel so imperfect
Now your body, it feels like

Words become obscure
Underwater
Words become obscure
Underwater
Call me dust on a coffee can
A reflection
Call me dust on a coffee can
A reflection, in a
Spoon

[Bridge]
I can't sleep
Can't go over
My thoughts
Where's my blood?
It's running
Out, out, out, out
It's running faster than it should

[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
He walks the house at night
Sees an image
Takes teacup, some honey
Stares at the snow
Looks for it everywhere
It's no use, it's not there
It's no use, it's not there

[Instrumental Outro]
