Baby, don't yell<br />
You're tearing a hole<br />
Right through the walls<br />
Of everything we used to know<br />
<br />
I'm building a place<br />
Something amazing<br />
Just for the sake of saving us<br />
From under the sun<br />
<br />
Two plastic hearts with nowhere to run<br />
We're rolling the dice on whatever's left<br />
'Cause god only knows that we could use the rest<br />
<br />
Me and you<br />
Living under a paper moon<br />
'Cause real life just isn't right<br />
Let's fabricate<br />
<br />
Me and you<br />
Living under a paper moon<br />
This real life just isn't right<br />
Let's get away<br />
Let's fabricate<br />
<br />
Baby, don't fret<br />
At least we're alive<br />
With just enough breath<br />
To truly despise the hills in the carpet<br />
<br />
Knots in the ties that bind us<br />
So tightly to our waking lives<br />
I'll build up a house<br />
I'll build up an army<br />
<br />
Of cellophane soldiers cheap origami<br />
To take back a piece or whatever's left<br />
Of that little box that beats in your chest<br />
<br />
Me and you<br />
Living under a paper moon<br />
'Cause real life just isn't right<br />
Let's fabricate<br />
<br />
Me and you<br />
Living under a paper moon<br />
This real life just isn't right<br />
Let's get away<br />
Let's fabricate<br />
<br />
I'm building a place<br />
Something amazing just for the sake of saving us<br />
And whatever's left of that little box<br />
That beats in your chest<br />
<br />
Me and you<br />
Living under a paper moon<br />
'Cause real life just isn't right<br />
Let's fabricate<br />

Me and you<br />
