Getting why so serious, child?
You're like a boy delirious when you say
"Is this town worth living in, living in?"
"Is this town worth living in?"
'Cause all the girls and boys in the city, well
Just care about things like
"How does my hair look?"
(Very good, very good)
Say, how does my hair look?
(Very good)
Because we're oh-so-scared of you
We're oh-so-scared of you
We're oh-so-scared of you
Do you remember when we spotted him?
All suited and booted, she said
"We're living in a cellophane house, you're never leaving"
"We're living in a cellophane house, you're never leaving"
She said use your fangs in my spare time
Come on in the car, you'll have a great time
Says, "Is this town worth living in?"
"Is this town worth living in?"
Because we're oh-so-scared of you
We're oh-so-scared of you
We're oh-so-scared of you
Because you're living in a cellophane house, never leaving
Living in a cellophane house, never leaving
Well, you're, you're in a cellophane house, you're never leaving
Living in a cellophane house, you're never leaving
We're oh-so-scared of you
Oh-so-scared of you
We're oh-so-scared of you
Oh-so-scared of you
We're oh-so-scared of you
And we're oh-so-scared of you
We're oh-so-scared of you
Scared
And we're oh-so...
Living in a cellophane house, never leaving
Living in a cellophane house, never leaving
Well, you're, you're in a cellophane house, you're never leaving
Living in a cellophane, cellophane
You're in a cellophane
You're in a cellophane
Cellophane
You're in a cellophane
Cellophane
You're in a cellophane
Cellophane
Cellophane house
