REM - IMITATION OF LIFE

charades, pop skill
water hyacinth, named by a poet.
imitaion of life
like a koi in a frozen pond
like a goldfish in a bowl
i don't want to hear you cry

that's sugarcane that tasted good
that's 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

that's sugarcane that tasted good
that's cinnamon that's hollywood
c'mon c'mon no one can see you try

no one can see you cry

that's sugarcane that tasted good
that's freezing rain that's 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

that's sugarcane that tasted good
that's what you are, that's what you could
c'mon c'mon no one can see you cry

that's sugarcane that tasted good
that's what you are, that's what you could
c'mon c'mon no one can see you cry.
