Various Artists - Mister Cellophane lyrics

[Verse 1: John C. Reilly] 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 the movie show yelled "Fire in the second row!" "This whole place is a powder keg!" You'd notice him [Pre-Chorus 1: John C. Reilly] And even without clucking like a hen Everyone gets noticed, now and then Unless, of course, that personage should be Invisible, inconsequential, me [Chorus: John C. Reilly] Cellophane, Mister Cellophane Shoulda 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 Shoulda been my name, Mister Cellophane Cause you can look right through me, walk right by me And never know I'm there [Verse 2: John C. Reilly] Suppose you was a little cat Residing in a person's flat Who fed you fish and scratched your ears You'd notice him Suppose you was a woman, wed And sleeping in a double bed Beside one man, for seven years You'd notice him [Pre-Chorus 2: John C. Reilly] A human being's made of more than air With all that bulk, you're bound to see him there Unless that human being next to you Is unimpressive, undistinguished, you-know-who [Chorus: John C. Reilly] Shoulda 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 Shoulda been my name, Mister Cellophane Cause you can look right through me, walk right by me And never know I'm there [Outro: John C. Reilly] Never even know I'm there [Spoken: John C. Reilly] I hope I haven't taken up too much of your time
