I could never take you for granted
Because you keep me so enchanted
Once your seed got planted, I was your slave

Now I'm feeling waves of fear
That some day you'll disappear
I should of never tangled with a cellophane angel

Let's call a spade a spade
When we're together in the shade
Even the best laid plans, they slip away

We're gonna lay here in the yard
Hold you gently, in my arms
You keep me outta danger, my cellophane angel

Traffic screaming by
Then a baby starts to cry
I hear those bullets fly
And my heart begins to sing

But then I drink from your chalice
And this world becomes my ballast
I know it's not just a dreamer's fantasy

Because to me it's crystal clear
I guess I'll always meet you here
So don't you be a stranger, my cellophane angel
No, don't you be a stranger, cellophane angel
