Cellophane
Music by Michelangelo
Lyrics by Michelangelo and Jon Wiest
After the last call
You tore up all the rules
Pointing your finger at anything that moves
Tonight it’s alright
To come down from your stage
No more pretending you’ve made it in the shade
You try so hard
You run far away
You hide everything
You try and try to keep it cellophane
Liquid and powder
Have kept you in the clouds
Poison your thinking, you’ll never hear the sounds
Of calls that remind you
There’s more to being here
Than sleeping your days off and living with your fear
You try so hard
You run far away
You hide everything
You try and try to keep it cellophane
Don’t think this roller coaster
Will bring you more than circles
You can’t go home till you get off
Floating out the harbor
The waves are picking up
Don’t do this to yourself again
My friend
You try so hard
You run far away
You hide everything
You try and try to keep it all inside
You try and try to keep it cellophane
