It Ain't no big secret, the trouble you're in
You wear a thin mask and it smiles and it grins
because it's cellophane city and everyone knows
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 7 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 is 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 sepualchre is emptying, yeah all is at peace
We know your with magdalene and you're sailing for Greece
Because it's cellophane city, and everyone knows
Cellophane city you try as you may
