Paper bridges
Across the raging river
Blown by the breezes
Wrecked by the weather
Paper bridges
Only money can build
Across the dark abyss
That's never filled
Paper bridges
You will learn
Easy to fold
Easier to burn
Looking back you'll say you knew right then
You felt the sway, you felt the bend
Empty your pockets, your gilded wishes
Cant pay the way for paper bridges
Paper bridges
Won't hold your weight
They take their toll
But won't open the gate
Paper bridges
Won't get you there
One spark in the dark
You can't repair
Paper bridges
Won't last too long
No one applauds
At the end of the song
Looking back you'll say you knew right then
You felt the sway, you felt the bend
Empty your pockets, your gilded wishes
Cant pay the way for paper bridges
Paper bridges
Paper bridges
Paper bridges
Paper bridges
