Cellophane Angel 🪽

Instrumental Intro

Verse 1

Transparent skin

Like she's made of plastic wrap and morning frost

Watching her wings flutter slow when she looks away

Beneath mid-summer sky

Pre-Chorus 1

She's a misdirected rocket

Missing the distant moon

Marking my name in her locket

Ending it all too soon

Chorus 1

Oh my cellophane angel

She spins with the music

Unwound into fine threads

My cellophane angel

Lost in the static snow

I built a cathedral of ice

My cellophane angel

Verse 2

Her heart's tickin'

Moving like clockwork parts under bone

Hair smelling of plastic and cough drops

She says nothing at all

Pre-Chorus 2

She's a misdirected rocket

Missing the distant moon

Marking my name in her locket

Ending it all too soon

Chorus 2

Oh my cellophane angel

She's spinnin till I'm dizzy

Unwound into fine threads

My cellophane angel

Lost in the static snow

I built an ark packed with goodbyes

My cellophane angel

Bridge

Repeating roulette spins

On a horse with a cracked eye

She crowned me her prince

She crowned me her failure

With a feinted caress

Moving me like a puppet

Tied to her angel hair strings

Guitar Solo

Chorus 3

Oh my cellophane angel

She's spinnin till I'm dizzy

Unwound into fine threads

My cellophane angel

Lost in the midnight show

of passersby with closed eyes

My cellophane angel

Outro

Cellophane

Cellophane

Tells me she doesn't love me

Showing how she doesn't love you

Angel wings

and ripped cellophane stings

End
