英文特辑精选：Rita calypso - paper mache

Rita Calypso - Paper Mache
Twenty houses in a row
Eighty people watch a TV show
Paper people, cardboard¹ dreams
How unreal the whole thing seems
Can we be living in a world made of paper mache
Everything is clean and so neat
Anything that's wrong can be just swept away
Spray it with cologne and the whole world smells sweet
Aaaaa.......
Ice-cream cones² and candy bars
Swings and thing slike bicycles and cars
There is a sale on happiness
You buy two and it costs less
Can we be living in a world made of paper mache
Everything is clean and so neat
Anything that's wrong can be just swept away
Spray it with cologne and the whole world smells sweet
Aaaaa.......
Read the papers keep aware
While you're lounging³ in your leather chair
And if things don't look so good
Shake your head and knock on wood
Can we be living in a world made of paper mache
Everything is clean and so neat
Anything that's wrong can be just swept away
Spray it with cologne and the whole world smells sweet
Aaaaa.......
Like paper mache.
