R. E. M. - Imitation of Life
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 thats 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 thats hollywood
C’mon c’mon no one can see you try
No one can see you cry
Thats sugarcane that tasted good
Thats freezing rain thats what you could
C’mon c’mon 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
Thats sugarcane that tasted good
Thats who you are, thats what you could
C’mon c’mon no one can see you cry
Thats sugarcane that tasted good
Thats who you are, thats what you could
C’mon c’mon no one can see you cry
