Cellophane Lyrics - Clifford T Ward

I'm insane over Cellophane 

She knows how to entertain me 

I'm inane over Cellophane 

She knows how to really sustain me 

She keeps me warm like counterpane 

She wakes me up like summer rain 

She elevates me like a steel crane 

But then in the same machine like way 

She drops me back down again. 

I'm so vain over Cellophane 

She knows how to picture frame me 

It's all the same to Cellophane 

She knows how to window pane me 

She strains my nerves in a funny way 

She drains my energy away 

There's not a grain of truth in what she says 

But if she don't remain I'll stain my reputation. 

I may not be twenty one but I'm not done with yet. 

INSTRUMENTAL 

(Cellophane) (Cellophane) 

She keeps me warm like counterpane 

She wakes me up like summer rain 

She elevates me like a steel crane 

But then in the same machine like way 

She drops me back down again. 

She's the tear me up and throw me down 

A delicate see through summer gown. 

She the things appertaining (Things appertaining) 

To things unremaining (Things unremaining) 

She's the same (She's the same) 

A Cellophane (Cellophane) 

Hard to restrain (Hard to restrain) 

She's so hard to contain (Hard to contain) 

Discards me like cellophane (Cellophane) 

We hear the cellos playing.
