billy joel - mr. cellophane (chicago soundtrack) lyrics
if someone stood up in a crowd
and raised his voice up way out loud
and waved his arm
and shook his leg
you’d notice him
if someone in a movie show
yelled “fire in the second row,
this whole place is a powder keg!”
you’d notice him
and even without clucking like a hen
everyone gets noticed, now and then,
unless, of course, that personage should
be
invisible, inconsequential me!
cellophane
mister cellophane
should have been my name
mister cellophane
’cause you can look right through me
walk right by me
and never know i’m there!
i tell ya
cellophane
mister cellophane
should have been my name
mister cellophane
’cause you can look right through me
walk right by me
and never know i’m there. . .
suppose you was a little cat
residin’ in a person’s flat
who fed you fish and scratched your
ears?
you’d notice him
suppoose you was a woman wed
and sleepin’ in a double bed beside one man for seven
years
you’d notice him
a human being’s made of more than air
with all that bulk, you’re bound to see
him there
unless that human bein’ next to you
is unimpressive, undistinguished
you know who. . .
should have been my name
mister cellophane
’cause you can look right through me
walk right by me
and never know i’m there
i tell ya
cellophane
mister cellophane
should i bend my name
mister cellophane
’cause you can look right through me
walk right by me
and never know i’m there
never even know i’m there
