Cellophane Life - Mark Wilkinson

Cellophane Life Lyrics

Who are you, who do you hope to be?
You’re a stranger my friend
And you’re no friend to me
I see the diamonds in your eyes
Maybe they will help you be free
To me you’re a lie
And maybe in time a lover will come
And open up your mind
And maybe you’ll find the damage is done
And it’s time to realise
The mountain you’ve climbed
It’s a hole in your mind
A cellophane life
Cos I’ve been watching the sky
Just hoping there is something to find
Knowing that my friends are the best things in my life

Who are you, who do you hope to be?
You’re a stranger my friend
In your own company
Is there a luxury defined
Maybe will help you to be free
To me you’re a lie
And maybe in time a lover will come
And open up your mind
And maybe you’ll find the covers have run
And its time you realised
The mountain you’ve climbed
It’s fooling your mind
It’s a cellophane life
Cos I’ve been watching the sky
Just holding on to something that’s mine
Knowing that my friends are the best things in my life
The world won’t sing when you pull that ring
So neatly round your life
But I hope there will be something left inside
Cos I’ve been watching the sky
Just holding on to something that’s mine
Knowing that my friends are the best things in my life
Cos I’ve been watching
And I’ve been walking
And I’ve been watching the sky
