(V1)
Ohhhh, when you walked into the darkness
Did you walk out from the clouds
Like an emperess without clothes
You just want to be found
(Chorus)
They wrap you up in cellophane
At the end of the da-a-a-y, yeah, hey
Another perfect party
Now you've lost way
Yes, you've lost your way
Another perfect party
(V2)
Well, they've seduced your senses
And now you're outta control
You're standing alone on a back road
You've got nowhere else to go
(Chorus)
Those perfect, perfect parties
What do they really mean
They wrap you up in cellophane
Then they save you for another day, ya
Another perfect party
(V3)
Your eyes are just a smokescreen
And no way into the mind
Spoken words they just dangle
Without reason or rhyme
(Outro)
They wrap you up in cellophane
Oh, don't you know that
You're saved for another da-a-a-a-y, hey, wow!
Been to the perfect party (perfect party)
Been to the perfect party
Been to the perfect party
Now you've lost way, hey, hey
Been to the perfect party
Now you've lost your way
Been to the perfect party
Been to the perfect party
Been to the perfect party
And, now you've lost your way
