  • Look at me, I'm such a basket case
    Delivered to you wrapped in cellophane
    Waiting on your doorstep every day
    Delivery, a basket filled with pain

    Patience is your virtue, saint o' mine
    I'd have fallen through the cracks without your love tonight
    I'm your groundhog and I'm skating on thin ice
    But you see me at your feet and carry me inside

    Can't you see I'm wrapped in cellophane
    Watch the blood pump through my veins
    Electricity floods my brain
    Can't hide the pain, can't hide the pain
    When you're wrapped in cellophane

    Look at me, I'm such a basket case
    While I fall apart you'll hide all my pills again
    And all the things I need to hear you say
    You'll watch as all my thoughts get right back on the train

    Can't you see I'm wrapped in cellophane
    Watch the blood pump through my veins
    Electricity floods my brain
    Can't hide the pain, can't hide the pain
    When you're wrapped in cellophane

    Can't you see I'm wrapped in cellophane
    Watch the blood pump through my veins
    Electricity floods my brain
    Can't hide the pain, can't hide the pain
    When you're wrapped in cellophane Writer/s: GREGORY KURSTIN, SIA FURLER
