I'm an astronaut, baby
I work in the night
I'm a certain kinda crazy
I live in my mind
I'm a deep sea diver
I find ways to breathe
I'm deep under cover
I don't look like me

I'm paper-thin
I'm paper-thin
I'm paper-thin
Just break me in

I'm a part-time mortician
I cannot shake death
And I'm an aging physician
Ain't got much healin' left
I'm a character actor
I feed myself wine
But it leaves me pretty good at
Pretending I'm fine

I'm paper-thin
I'm paper-thin
I'm paper-thin
Just break me in

I'm a struggling comedian
I can't find the laughs
I'm a poor mathematician
I do things by halves
I'm a weekday dancer
Can't keep the movement from my shoes
I'm a heartless casino
I win when you lose

I'm paper-thin
I'm paper-thin
I'm paper-thin
Just break me in
