Cellophane (Brain)

(album: Today We're The Greatest - 2021)

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 realize
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 routines
Nothing more sad than a man who cries
In his car in the driveway
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

You think you're a black umbrella
Holding off the rain
I think you're a silk white kite
Blowing off course 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
