Cellophane City - Amy McCarley

Look at me, I'm such a basket case Delivered to you wrapped in cellophane Waiting on your doorstep every day Delivery, a basket filled with pain Patience is your virtue, saint o' mine I'd have fallen through the cracks without your love tonight I'm your groundhog and I'm skating on thin ice But you see me at your feet and carry me inside Eh-eh-eh-eh-eh-eh-eh Eh-eh-eh-eh-eh-eh-eh Eh-eh-eh-eh-eh-eh-eh Eh-eh-eh-eh-eh-eh-eh Can't you see I'm wrapped in cellophane? Watch the blood pump through my veins Electricity floods my brain Can't hide the pain, can't hide the pain When you're wrapped in cellophane Look at me, I'm such a basket case While I fall apart you'll hide all my pills again And all the things I need to hear you say You'll watch as all my thoughts get right back on the train Eh-eh-eh-eh-eh-eh-eh Eh-eh-eh-eh-eh-eh-eh Eh-eh-eh-eh-eh-eh-eh Eh-eh-eh-eh-eh-eh-eh Can't you see I'm wrapped in cellophane? Watch the blood pump through my veins Electricity floods my brain Can't hide the pain, can't hide the pain When you're wrapped in cellophane Ooh-ooh Ooh-oh Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh Can't you see I'm wrapped in cellophane? Watch the blood pump through my veins Electricity floods my brain Can't hide the pain, can't hide the pain When you're wrapped in cellophane

Never quite on time Running late, running wild Looking up star signs Eating apples on the train I know you say it's alright as you keep it inside Hey, when did you realise there's no guy with a first prize Waiting at the end? Cellophane You shake, you never change Cellophane You're strange up in your brain Are you afraid To stop and find the reason Why you can't get away from it? Moving up the coastline Making deals, selling houses Promise of the good life Compliance teams, bleak routinеs Nothing more sad than a man who cries In his car, in the drivеway Blue helium light blinking again Cellophane You shake, you never change Cellophane You're strange up in your brain Are you afraid To stop and find the reason Why you can't get away from it? Cellophane (cellophane) You shake, you never change Cellophane (cellophane) You're strange up in your brain Are you afraid To stop and find the reason Why you can't get away from it? You think you're a black umbrella Holding off the rain I think you're a silk white kite Blowing off course again You think you're a black umbrella Holding off the rain I think you're a silk white kite Blowing off course again Cellophane (cellophane) You shake, you never change Cellophane (cellophane) You're strange up in your brain Are you afraid To stop and find the reason Why you can't get away from it?

My backpack was faded black But now it's all blue It looks whack but it's compact And works like brand new I had found an old Greyhound But it wasn't my scene I'm underground at the turnaround This one is pristine Warehouses above, all I'm thinking of You gave your heart to me and soon the world will see Our graffiti love, spray paint on my glove They'll wonder who you are on every subway car I'm on my own, I'm Sly Stallone I did it for you But I've outgrown my wings and flown Into something brand new I show restraint, I'm the patron saint Of urban gardens in bloom If I don't faint ingesting paint Breathing all of these fumes Warehouses above, all I'm thinking of You gave your heart to me and soon the world will see Our graffiti love, spray paint on my glove They'll wonder who you are on every subway car On every subway car you look amazing While streaming out of bars their glasses raising Systemically refused, then chemically removed Warehouses above, all I'm thinking of You gave your heart to me and soon the world will see Our graffiti love melted on my glove They'll wonder who you are on every subway car Our graffiti love on every subway car Our graffiti love on every subway car
