Cellophane Life

Who are you, who do you hope to be?

You’re a stranger my friend

And you’re no friend to me

I see the diamonds in your eyes

Maybe they will help you be free

To me you’re a lie

And maybe in time a lover will come

And open up your mind

And maybe you’ll find the damage is done

And it’s time to realise

The mountain you’ve climbed

It’s a hole in your mind

A cellophane life


Cos I’ve been watching the sky

Just hoping there is something to find

Knowing that my friends are the best things in my life


Who are you, who do you hope to be?

You’re a stranger my friend

In your own company

Is there a luxury defined

Maybe will help you to be free

To me you’re a lie

And maybe in time a lover will come

And open up your mind

And maybe you’ll find the covers have run

And its time you realised

The mountain you’ve climbed

It’s fooling your mind

It’s a cellophane life


Cos I’ve been watching the sky

Just holding on to something that’s mine

Knowing that my friends are the best things in my life

The world won’t sing when you pull that ring

So neatly round your life

But I hope there will be something left inside

Cos I’ve been watching the sky

Just holding on to something that’s mine

Knowing that my friends are the best things in my life

Cos I’ve been watching

And I’ve been walking

And I’ve been watching the sky
