Marc Cohn — Paper Walls

[Verse 1] Well, I had just checked in when the sun came up After ten hours on the bus I was staring at the stains on the ceiling, baby Trying not to think about us But then someone in room 502 Started doing the thing that we used to do Every bang, every boom Was just like it was happening in my own room [Chorus] 'Cause they've got paper walls Paper walls Paper walls (Ooh yeah) [Verse 2] I closed the curtains, I shut the light I heard the highway moan Next thing I remember they was having a fight And then she was all alone I heard her cry in her darkest hour I heard the echo from the hotel shower I heard her start to packing her things so I called her number and I heard it ring [Chorus] Right through the paper walls Paper walls Paper walls (Ooh yea now) [Bridge] She said whoa, whoa, whoa yeah Come on now [Verse 3] I've never seen such a sight before The way she looked when she opened the door Hush now baby don't make a sound When all your love comes a-tumbling down [Chorus] Just like a paper wall (Paper walls) Paper wall Paper wall (Paper walls) Ooh hoo, just like a paper wall (Paper walls) Paper wall, it's alright (Paper walls) [Outro] It ain't the road that kills you It's not the all night calls It ain't the road that kills you, baby It's just the paper walls It ain't the road
