Cellophane

I am lying lying flat out on my back and light is shining
light is shining from your eyes
and the darkness all around me like a cloak of velvet deep and soft
seductive I could slip into a fold
then I'm blinded blinded by the memory of events recent
recently I realise something's changing, changing in my world cause
I'm not feeling quite the way I used to feel when I was in control
I start to lose it. I hear the crackling of the flames but I'm wrong you
know, it's only cellophane.
it's you unwrapping a chocolate box and smiling sweetly through my
haze, like an angel, standing watching through my windowpane
hey there mister standing over by the door could you take a minute to
turn this water into wine cos I'm here, it's now and I feel fine.
how did I get here, here is where I never thought I'd be but thinking,
evidently this is me.
many questions racing round my brain like crazy greyhounds chasing
after rubber rabbits never to grab hold
I start to lose it. I hear the crackling of the flames but I'm wrong you
know, it's only cellophane. it's you unwrapping a pack of cigarettes
and offering them around like the angel, coming crashing through my
windowpane
hey there mister standing over by the door could you take a minute to
turn this water into wine. well I'm here it's now and I feel fine.
and if I lose it and hear the crackling of the flames, well just remind
me please, it's only cellophane it's you unwrapping a shiny gun to hold
directly to my brain like an angel, you came crawling through my
windowpane
hey there mister standing over by the door could you take a minute to
turn this water into wine cos I'm here it's now and I feel fine.
