imitation of life
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 dont want to hear you cry.
Thats sugarcane that tasted good.
Thats cinnamon, thats Hollywood.
Cmon, cmon no one can see you try.
You want the greatest thing
The greatest thing since bread came sliced.
Youve got it all, youve got it sized.
Like a Friday fashion show teenager
Freezing in the corner
Trying to look like you dont try.
Thats sugarcane that tasted good.
Thats cinnamon, thats Hollywood.
Cmon, cmon no one can see you try.
No one can see you cry.
That sugar cane that tasted good.
That freezing rain, thats what you could.
Cmon, cmon on no one can see you cry.
This sugarcane
This lemonade
This hurricane, Im not afraid.
Cmon, cmon no one can see you cry.
This lightning storm
This tidal wave
This avalanche, Im not afraid.
Cmon, cmon no one can see me cry.
That sugar cane that tasted good.
Thats who you are, thats what you could.
Cmon, cmon on no one can see you cry.
That sugar cane that tasted good.
Thats who you are, thats what you could.
Cmon, cmon on no one can see you cry.
