"Paper Mountain Man" is the second track on Parallelograms, 3:13 (one listing says 3:10), written by Perhacs. She has said it is about a man she loved who hurt her by seeing other women, and that she knew she was either going to die or climb upward in spiritual strength to survive. One reviewer, not identified in the source, describes the sound as funky and blues-inflected, with jazzy percussion and a distant harmonica; the harmonica credit on the album is not attributed to a track. No chart history, covers, samples or live history were found.
