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. 
INSTRUMENT
AL (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.
