Paperback Boy

[Verse 1]
Fifteen minutes, three weeks and one day
I'm glad that I decided I would stay, still hear you say
Every night is our night, but this dream
Will change tomorrow, see, I know, I mean

[Chorus]
Wasn't it good? You bathed in wine
Wasn't it fine? You captured my mind
Clowns and horsemen did greet excitement and joy
But why did it end, my paperback boy?

[Verse 2]
Wash away your sorrow with this word, it didn't occur
But I still want you as a friend of mine, it wasn't the wine
Strange how everything, oh, quickly changed
You're acting funny and a bit deranged

[Chorus]
Wasn't it good? (Wasn't it good?) You bathed in wine
Wasn't it fine? (Wasn't it fine?) You captured my mind
Clowns and horsemen did greet excitement and joy
So why did it end, my paperback boy?

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Chorus]
Wasn't it good? (Wasn't it good?) You bathed in wine
Wasn't it fine? (Wasn't it fine?) You captured my mind
Clowns and horsemen did greet excitement and joy
But why did it end, my paperback boy?

Yeah, wasn't it good? (Wasn't it good?) You bathed in wine
Yeah, wasn't it fine? (Wasn't it fine?) You captured my mind
Clowns and horsemen did greet excitement and joy
So why did it end, my paperback boy?
