John C. Reilly - Mister Cellophane lyrics

rate me

If someone stood up in a crowd<br />

And raised his voice up way out loud<br />

And waved his arm and shook his leg<br />

You'd notice him<br />

<br />

If someone in a movie show<br />

Yelled, "Fired" in the second row<br />

This whole place is a powder keg<br />

You'd notice him<br />

<br />

And even without clucking like a hen<br />

Everyone gets noticed now and then<br />

Unless, of course that personage should be<br />

Invisible, inconsequential me<br />

<br />

Cellophane, Mister Cellophane<br />

Should have been my name<br />

Mister Cellophane<br />

'Cause you can look right through me<br />

Walk right by me and never know I'm there<br />

<br />

I tell ya, Cellophane, Mister Cellophane<br />

Should have been my name, Mister Cellophane<br />

'Cause you can look right through me walk right by me<br />

And never know I'm there<br />

<br />

Suppose you was a little cat<br />

Residin' in a person's flat<br />

Who fed you fish and scratched your ears?<br />

You'd notice him<br />

<br />

Suppose you was a woman wed<br />

And sleepin' in a double bed<br />

Beside one man for seven years<br />

You'd notice him<br />

<br />

A human being's made of more than air<br />

With all that bulk, you're bound to see him there<br />

Unless that human bein' next to you<br />

Is unimpressive, undistinguished<br />

You know who<br />

<br />

Should have been my name, Mister Cellophane<br />

'Cause you can look right through me<br />

Walk right by me and never know I'm there<br />

<br />

I tell ya, Cellophane, Mister Cellophane<br />

Should have been my name<br />

Mister Cellophane<br />

<br />

'Cause you can look right through me<br />

Walk right by me and never know I'm there<br />

Never even know I'm there
