lyrics

My name is Cardboard Charlie
I sit under sunny skies and starry nights
In the corner of the garden

The grass is taller at my feet
Pouring rain and searing heat
Become my burden

Now my spine is but a curve
Please don’t tell me I deserve
This kind of exile

My only shelter is this tree
But the damn thing has no leaves
And you wonder why I never smile

You see me every day from your perch on the porch
While you’re smoking your cigarette
And I just got to say I would not have it any other way
Cause its me the world will not forget

Cause I am Cardboard Charlie

My name is Cardboard Charlie
I sit under clouds of black and rain attacks
The every try to break me

But I stand strong and tall enough
These elements are not the stuff
That could forsake me

My name is Cardboard Charlie
And I’ll sit alone under this tree
Until my burial

Cause Daddy always used to say
The pulp inside me is not grey
But colourful material
