Paper Wraps Rock |
You can never overestimate Garbo |
You can never undress Monroe |
They may have never heard of Plato |
But there’s one thing they did know |
If you want to be desired for a thousand years |
Keeping it platonic is a good idea |
«Cut it out Socrates, can’t we just talk» |
Scissors cut paper, but paper wraps rock |
Never underestimate Mary |
The original virginal bride |
Interpretations may vary but I say |
God was her piece on the side |
Prudence is the proper doxy’s friend |
The paradox is heaven sent |
The wickedest words are in the Good Book |
Scissors cut paper, but paper wraps rock |
Never underestimate the face of Helen of Troy |
The face of a woman who never agrees to please |
She’s Paris in a drag of plaster and papyrus |
That’s why they never undress, they never undress |
They never undress in this non-stop striptease |
Never underestimate the huntress |
The protected species of whore |
The chariot of Diana Regina’s an enormous |
Limousine with bulletproof doors |
It’s rule number one for the wise coquette |
Stick a long filter on your cigarette |
Shimmer through a window that’s twice locked |
Scissors cut paper, oh, but paper wraps rock |
Never underestimate the face of Helen of Troy |
The face of a woman who never agrees to please |
She’s Paris in a drag of plaster and papyrus |
That’s why they never undress, they never undress |
They never undress in this non-stop striptease |
Never underestimate 'Never' |
And you’ll live to love another day |
A woman never made a living |
By giving anything away |
If you want to be more major than a majorette |
Stay as rigid and as frigid as a statuette |
Stay out of the kitchens and the sweatshops |
Scissors cut paper, but paper wraps rock |
Undress your best behaviour Helen of Troy |
Every Green Bus Drives Fast and so does time |
Brush off the plaster of Paris |
Every Good Boy, Every Good Boy |
Every Good Boy Deserves Favour, where’s mine? |
She will forget you in all except your name |
In all except the face you wore |
And the empty words you were good at saying |
Or else all except the pretentious knots |
That covered the paper |
That wrapped up rock |
