Lyrics
In a papered house The lights are going down In blissful ignorance the king Makes a hash of repairing His papier mache crown The treasure in his grasp The part he was born to play Have led him up the garden path With his hopes and his broken heart shown on open display He doesn't understand They'll never let the talent know That the shaking in his hand Is a sign-off: goodbye and not hello So much for awareness Of the crooked nature of the deal In a papered house there's no big reveal He doesn't understand So much he'd rather not know But he caught a glimpse of the seating plan And so the story's blown Grandees and groundlings, they've seen it all before And there's no sense of romance left at the artists' door Anagnorisis, it's all given away In a papered house There's hell to pay
