Steve Forbert - Cellophane City lyrics

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, you 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 is with, yes and he knows where they are. Because it's cellophane city and everyone knows There's no secret, nothing, and that is how it goes Cellophane city, you try as you may There's no secret, nothing, it's all on display. You try to be Jesus, you try to be boss You pulled a few tricks and you hang on a cross This sepulcher is empty, yeah but all is at peace We know you're with Magdalene, yes, and 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 you try as you may There's no secret, nothing, it's all on display.
