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
That's sugarcane that tasted good
That's cinnamon, that's Hollywood
Come on, come on, 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
Come on, come on, 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
Come on, come on, no-one can see you cry
This sugarcane
This lemonade
This hurricane, I'm not afraid
Come on, come on, no-one can see me cry
This lightning storm
This tidal wave
This avalanche, I'm not afraid
Come on, come on, no-one can see me cry
That's sugarcane that tasted good
That's who you are, that's what you could
Come on, come on, no-one can see you cry
That's sugarcane that tasted good
That's who you are, that's what you could
Come on, come on, no-one can see you cry
Water hyacinth, named by a poet

That's cinnamon, that's Hollywood
