What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
He was a self made man
2
Made a killing on copper mine
3
Loved beautiful girls
4
Got a taste for fancy wine
5
And the suits he wore
6
Were paper thin
7
He built a big white house
8
In the valley of the kings
9
Took a beautiful wife
10
Bought her every possible thing
11
And the silk she wore
12
Was paper thin
13
Well they traveled in style
14
Paid cash for everything
15
Had a beautiful child
16
Had a champagne christening
17
But as they raised their glasses in toast to him
18
He saw the crystal was paper thin
19
So shadows came
20
Whispering words to him
21
Sold the company out
22
And cashed all those futures in
23
But it all still looked so
24
Paper thin
25
Well it was late one night
26
And the rain was streamin' down
27
He called his wife's name out
28
And said honey it's over now
29
I'm gonna burn it all
30
I can't take this anymore
31
But as he struck the match
32
She took a pistol from the drawer
33
She said I ain't going down with you
34
Pulled the trigger in
35
And the bullet it passed right through
36
Like he was paper thin
