Story behind the song
lyrics are about the frivolous, fleeting, disposable, fickle, youthful nature of modern popularity/fame (the fifteen minute variety...). How much of it is totally fabricated and all for show.
Lyrics
Beneath the prying eyes, waiting for the show Jennifer is always sure to let the world know She's got rhythm to spare, seems to have a flare For taking teenage breath away and making old men stare Lady Libertine is making the scene Sealing a deal where nothing is real And learning how to crawl, the happy living doll An actress in the nude will take her cue Paper Mache for the easy life Paper Mache to the camera eye Paper Mache, it's so long friends Leaving home for the circus tent Paper Mache in the house of style Winning the game for a little while Now Angel's lost horizon is hardly making sense Found her dream in a magazine and lost her innocence Now she fumbles through the day, another growing pain, The idle matinee in a fashion throwaway She caught the falling star on Sunset Blvd. A promise in hand ain't worth a damn It's Paper Mache for the chosen ones Wearing it well 'til reality comes Paper Mache on a gossamer wing Shiny and new with a familiar ring Paper Mache for the inner child Selling it's youth for a little while

So much drama and fantastic performances crammed in a few short minutes. Always something new to hear and enjoy with each listen.
