Imitation of Life
R.E.M.
[Verse 1]
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's sugarcane that tasted good
That's cinnamon, that's Hollywood
Come on, come on, no one can see you try

[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
That's sugarcane that tasted good
That's cinnamon, that's Hollywood
Come on, come on, no one can see you try

[Post-Chorus]
No one can see you cry

[Chorus]
That's sugarcane that tasted good
That's freezing rain, that's what you could
Come on, come on, no one can see you try

[Bridge]
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

[Chorus]
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
