Cellophane (Brain)
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
