Cellophane City

It ain't no big secret, the trouble you're in
You wear a thin mask, and it smiles and it grins
You can't get no credit, you can't get a loan
It's heard at the parties, and over the phone

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 a seven, and kissed him goodbye
She snuck across town to, a rendezvous bar
He knows who she's with, 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
Well, the sepulchres are deep, but all is at peace
We know you're at Magdala, and sailing for Greece

Because it's Cellophane City, everybody 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
