Cellophane City

It ain't no big secret
The trouble you're in
You wear a thin mask
And it smiles and it grins

Can't get no credit
Can't get a loan
Mmm, it's heard at the parties
Yes, and over the phones

Because it's Cellophane City
And everyone knows
There's no secret nothing
And that's how it goes
Cellophane City
And try as you may
There's no secret nothing
It's all on display

He stood in the kitchen
She told him a lie
She left around seven
And kissed him goodbye

She snuck across the town to
A rendezvous bar
Well, he knows who she's with
Yes, and he knows where they are

Because it's Cellophane City
And everyone knows
There's no secret nothing
And that's how it goes
Cellophane City
And try as you may
There's no secret nothing
It's all on display

You tried to be Jesus
You tried to be boss
You pulled a few tricks
And you hung on a cross

The sepulchre is empty
Yeah, but all is at peace
We know you're with Magdalene
Yes, and you're sailing for Greece

Because it's Cellophane City
And everyone knows
There's no secret nothing
And that's how it goes
Cellophane City
Yes, and try as you may
There's no secret nothing
It's all on display
