Imitation Of Life by 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...
Thats sugarcane that tasted good
Thats cinnamon, that's Hollywood
C'mon, c'mon 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
Freezing in the corner
Trying to look like you don't try...
Thats sugarcane that tasted good
Thats cinnamon, that's Hollywood
C'mon, c'mon 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
C'mon, c'mon on no one can see you cry

This sugarcane
This lemonade
This hurricane, I'm not afraid
C'mon, c'mon no one can see me cry...

This lightning storm
This tidal wave
This avalanche, I'm not afraid
C'mon, c'mon no one can see me cry...
That sugar cane that tasted good
That's who you are, that's what you could
C'mon, c'mon on no one can see you cry...

That sugar cane that tasted good
That's who you are, that's what you could
C'mon, c'mon on no one can see you cry...
