lyrics

Rock, Paper, Scissors

You Left Me In
A State Of Shock

Said I Was Paper
When You Needed Rock

With Just A Snip
You Cut My Heart

You Said We Needed
To Be Apart

Rock Paper Scissors
And Cotton Lovers

Brought Together
By A Higher Power

Until It Shattered
Like A Sheet Of Ice

And Love Is Not A Game
You Play With Dice

You Put One Hand Behind Your Back
Your Palms Are Sweaty And Your Nerves Are Wracked

Rock Paper Scissors
Best Out Of Three
You Got The Worst Out Of Me.

You Had It Good
But You Wanted More

How Could I Love You
You Were Keeping Score

I Never Been Too
Good At This Game

Just Pointing Fingers
And Laying Blame

Rock Paper Scissors
Maybe Matches Too

You Smother Fire
That Still Burns For You

Although You’re Winning
I Can't Understand

Why You Suffocate
Me In Your Paper Hand

A Palm For Paper
A Fist For Rock
Peace For Scissors
No Need To Talk

Rock Paper Scissors
Best Out Of Three
You Got The Worst Out Of Me.

As If I’d Ever Want To Play This Again
As If Id Ever Want To Play With You Again

The Game Is Over
The Scores Are Set

We’ve Had Out Fun
Though We Still Have Regrets

So Now You’re Playing
With Another Man

Clever New Schemes
To Get The Upper Hand

Rock Paper Scissors
Not Another Round

What’s Left Of Love
We Bury Deep In The Ground

We May As Well
Just Go Our Separate Ways

Or Even Play This Game
Again Another Rainy Day

If You Cut This Paper Heart There Are No Winners We Both Fall Apart

Rock Paper Scissors
Best Out Of Three
You Got The Worst Out Of Me.

Rock Paper Scissors
The Best Out Of Me
Rock Paper Scissors

Jon Cohen Ex image

Jon Cohen Ex Montréal, Québec

Fantasy prom king, master crafter of cult-pop gems and multi-threat instrumentalist Jon Cohen Experimental creates sweet but potent stories that spring from curiosity. This dynamic one-man band's beguiling art rock inventions and melodic hooks promise a sultry escape from those pesky workaday hang-ups. At times folksy, indie and at times grungy, the E.L.O vs. 90’s vibe is raw and unapologetic. ... more
