In my book it's almost certainly "For a timepiece never changes this" -- it's about the only truly clear lyric on the whole album, although even then I thought it was "...changes pace" at first.
For "paper warm beings"(!) I've always heard "paper windings" which makes a tiny bit more sense, makes me think of trails of paper (from the aforementioned paperchase) wound round trees, bushes, etc. Wouldn't bet I'm right though.
Finally, I've never been able to make up my mind whether it's "Here's what it takes" or "Here's what it says". May even be both, at different times.
@AmbientSheep Here's what it says. Liz is referring to the paper chase she knows so well. If you want to know what all that paper says, she knows. She's literally telling you what it is says.
