This song is written about Matt's uncle Lou.

lyrics

Captain conniption with a flat opposition stride
Doggy decision with a color collision ride
Lunch in a river with something that slithers up and down his thigh
Flat cotton candy he’s a don who’s a dandy and a flash light

His este lauder and mechanical daughters and a pink bow
Dropping his quarter in a peep show slaughter and she don’t know
It’s a lurid affair just look at his hair and all the brill cream
Magic marker eyes and a pocket size scissor love dream

Paper doll Lou and his bright leather shoes
And a pot roast wife who’s just serving the news
Paper doll Lou he just hangs on the wall
And he don’t say a word and he knows he’s a bore
Hey Lou!

A cutout success and meticulous dress and his brand new shiny badge
He could’ve been more in a cabaret store just look at him dance
It’s a might charade filled with tape and frame and his ribbon neck tie
And all he want more than to come off the wall than to just die

Paper doll Lou and his bright leather shoes
And a pot roast wife who’s just serving the news
Paper doll Lou he just hangs on the wall
And he don’t say a word and he knows he’s a bore
Hey Lou!

Carnal spotlight hangin uptight
Neatly edged oh how he’s cut so clean
Plastic covers toxic mothers
Paper lovers in a cowboy hat parade

Paper doll Lou and his bright leather shoes
And a pot roast wife who’s just serving the news
Paper doll Lou he just hangs on the wall
And he don’t say a word and he knows he’s a bore
Hey Lou!
