You are a self made man [00:00:11]
Made a killing on copper mine [00:00:15]
Loved beautiful girls [00:00:20]
Got a taste for fancy wine [00:00:24]
And the suits he wore [00:00:29]
Were paper thin [00:00:32]
He built a big white house [00:00:36]
In the valley of the kings [00:00:40]
Took a beautiful wife [00:00:45]
Bought her every possible thing [00:00:49]
And the silk she wore [00:00:54]
Was paper thin [00:00:57]
Well they traveled in style [00:01:01]
Paid cash for everything [00:01:05]
Had a beautiful child [00:01:10]
Had a champagne christening [00:01:14]
But as they raised their glasses in toast to him [00:01:19]
He saw the crystal was paper thin [00:01:26]
So shadows came [00:01:50]
Whispering words to him [00:01:54]
Sold the company out [00:01:59]
And cashed all those futures in [00:02:02]
But it all still looked so [00:02:07]
Paper thin [00:02:10]
Well it was late one night [00:02:14]
And the rain was streamin' down [00:02:17]
He called his wife's name out [00:02:23]
And said honey it's over now [00:02:26]
I'm gonna burn it all [00:02:31]
I can't take this anymore [00:02:35]
But as he struck the match [00:02:40]
She took a pistol from the drawer [00:02:44]
She said I ain't going down with you [00:02:49]
Pulled the trigger in [00:02:52]
And the bullet it passed right through [00:02:56]
Like he was paper thin [00:03:00]
