Track five, "Mr. Cellophane", is a catchy ear worm written in a swing-inspired 6/8 time. If this song doesn't get stuck in your head, at least once, your brain is an impenetrable fortress!

lyrics

Hey, excuse me Mr. Preacher Man
Can you save me just like Jesus can?
Can you eat all of my sin?
Can you make me just like you again?

Hey there, Mr. Chemical
All soulless and mechanical
I've got a lot of pain for you to kill
Can you slip me another pill?

[CHORUS]
If I had a heart you would lead it astray
If I had a soul you would throw it away
If I had care you had not sold
But playing 'what if' is getting old
If I had a heart that fell to decay
If I had a soul I would piss it away
If I had a care I had not sold
I'd watch in terror as it unfolds

Hello, hi, Mr. Cellophane
Can you save me from myself again?
Keep me safe under lock and key
I tend to be my own worst enemy

Hey there, Mr. Superstar
Tell us again how lost we are
Tell us again what we must do
Tell us again how to be like you
