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

 

Chorus :   That sugarcane

That tasted good

That 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……

 

Back to Chorus

 

No one can see you cry…..

 

That sugarcane that tasted good

That freezing rain

That what you could

C’mon c’mon no one can see me cry….

 

This sugarcane

This lemonade

This hurricane, I’m not afraid

C’mon c’mon no one can see me cry…

 

This ligtning storm

This tidal wave

This avalanche, I’m not afraid

C’mon c’mon no one can see me cry…..

 

That sugarcane

That tasted good

That’s  who you are

That’s tasted good

C’mon c’mon no one can see you cry….

 

That sugarcane

That tasted good

That who you are

That’s what you could

C’mon c’mon no one can see you cry….
