Our Lady Peace - "Paper Moon" (w/Lyrics)

Comes a time when you get turned around, and
Life itself just wears you out, but
You keep getting ready for the big parade
Ah you shine your shoes and you fake a smile
Salute the players with that famous style, cause
Keepin up has kept you in chains

I was thinking that if you know a way out then I'd like to go with you
And we can burn out like candles under that paper moon

They just dont know anything at all
They just dont know anything at all

Youll fight traffic jams and big TVs, and
Hipsters trapped in their own irony, but
Youll finally think about settling down
Oh you quit your job and you sell your car
Youll burn your clothes and pray to the stars, cause
You swore to God that youd never end up this way

I was thinking that if you know a way out then I'd like to go with you
And we can burn out like candles under that paper moon

They just dont know anything at all
They just dont know anything at all
At all
At all
At all
At all

Comes a time when you get turned around, and
Life itself just wears you out, but
You keep getting ready for the big parade

for a band to reinvent themselves pretty much every album since there first, and to be successful every time is amazing, and it's even more amazing that they havent lost ''it'' or broke up like a lot of bands from the nineties, our lady peace never seem to run out of originality, and always have really good albums, keep rockin olp:D!

to be honest i dont see how any of you can judge that song. yah it may not be just as good as the rest of their songs but when you rite lyrics they are a part of you put down on paper. and to hear ppl saying that lyrics you wrote are a "blemish or embarrasment?" thats like telling someone that theyre not good enough for your time. you dont like it? then dont listen to it.

por dios amo esta cancion

This song reminds me of the pre-Gravity era, and it is the only song on the album that does that for me. Great album though. This song could have easily been released on Happiness...

[0213adidas]

this is a masterpiece song

[permanentgrin]

One of their best songs! Where would this album be without it.? Reminds me a bit of Elton John on the chorus . This should be in rotation on Classic Rock stations ..its just that kind of song. Maybe re-release it somehow. Though the last two albums may be half filler to some they shine in this tune along with Angels Losing Sleep from HIPT..which IMO is one of those most beautiful songs ever written.

honestly the first time i sat and listened to this song it gave me chills all over my whole body. hope to see them live again someday

[Jazzy55RiseAgainst]

fucking life changing.

[sehrat54000]

You know.. I hate it when people go off about old OLP and new OLP and hating or loving one or the other.. ever thought of loving the band that gave you something you enjoy? Thats far better than all these bands that are completely repetative and boring after ONE hit.. OLP has many many hits, many different sogns, to suit more than one taste.. that is talent, that is OLP, and god bless em.. Dont like a certain song or album? listen to the other that you love. thats why theres a hard copy

@kennygmang clearly you don't understand music very well if you think SOT is more unoriginal than AYD. Its full of all cliches you hear in every band's lyrical library. It just similies the entire song. "like the red sea you split me open" Barf.

It just took me like, half an hour to learn how to play this on guitar.

OLP is awesome!
