Blow into this paperbag,
Go home, stop grinning at everyone
Blow into this paperbag,
Go home, stop grinning at everyone
It was nice when it lasted,
But now it's gone
It was nice when it lasted,
But now it's gone
Take your armor off,
You're not under attack
Take your armor off,
You're not under attack
And they were honeybees
On a blade of grass
Take your armor off,
You're not under attack
