Imitation Of Life - R.E.M.
Charades pop skill
Water hyacinth
Named by a poet
Imitation of life
Like a koi in a frozen pond
Like a goldfish in a bowl
I don't want to hear you cry
That sugar cane that tasted good
That cinnamon, that's Hollywood
Come on, come on
No one can see you try
You want the greatest thing
The greatest thing since bread came sliced
You've got it all
You've got it sized
Like a Friday fashion show
Teenager cruising in the corner
Trying to look like you don't try
That sugar cane that tasted good
That cinnamon, that's Hollywood
Come on, come on
No one can see you try
No one can see you cry
That sugar cane that tasted good
That freezing rain, that's what you could
Come on, come on
No one can see you cry
This sugar cane, this lemonade
This hurricane, I'm not afraid
Come on, come on
No one can see me cry
This lightning storm, this tidal wave
This avalanche, I'm not afraid
Come on, come on
No one can see me cry
That sugar cane that tasted good
That's who you are, that's what you could
Come on, come on
No one can see you cry
That sugar cane that tasted good
That's who you are, that's what you could
Come on, come on
No one can see you cry
