Paper Wraps Rock - Momus

Paper Wraps Rock - Momus
You can never overestimate Garbo
You can never undress Monroe
They may have never heard of Plato
But there's one thing they did know
If you want to be desired
For a thousand years
Keeping it platonic is a good idea
Cut it out Socrates
Can't we just talk
Scissors cut paper
But paper wraps rock
Never underestimate Mary
The original virginal bride
Interpretations may vary but I say
God was her piece on the side
Prudence is the proper doxy's friend
The paradox is heaven sent
Wickedest words are in the Good Book
Scissors cut paper
But paper wraps rock
Never underestimate the face
Of Helen of Troy
The face of a woman
Who never agrees to please
She's Paris in a drag of
Plaster and papyrus
That's why they never undress
They never undress
They never undress
In this non-stop striptease
Never underestimate the huntress
The protected species of whore
The chariot of Diana Regina's an enormous
Limousine with bulletproof doors
It's rule number one
For the wise coquette
Stick a long filter on your cigarette
Shimmer through a window
That's twice locked
Scissors cut paper
Oh but paper wraps rock
Never underestimate the face
Of Helen of Troy
The face of a woman
Who never agrees to please
She's Paris in a drag of
Plaster and papyrus
That's why they never undress
They never undress
They never undress
In this non-stop striptease
Never underestimate never
And you'll live to love another day
A woman never made a living
By giving anything away
If you want to be more major
Than a majorette
Stay as rigid and as frigid
As a statuette
Stay out of the kitchens
And the sweatshops
Scissors cut paper
But paper wraps rock
Undress your best behaviour
Helen of Troy
Every Green Bus Drives Fast
And so does time
Brush off the plaster of Paris
Every good boy
Every good boy
Every good boy
Deserves favour
Where's mine
She will forget you
In all except your name
In all except the face you wore
And the empty words
You were good at saying
Or else all except the pretentious knots
That covered the paper
That wrapped up rock
