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.

Thats sugarcane that tasted good
Thats cinnamon, thats 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.

Thats sugarcane that tasted good
Thats cinnamon, thats Hollywood
C'mon, c'mon no one can see you try.

No one can see you cry.

That sugar cane that tasted good
That freezing rain, that's what you could
C'mon, c'mon on no one can see you cry.

This sugarcane
This lemonade
This hurricane, I'm not afraid
C'mon, c'mon no one can see you cry.

This lightning storm
This tidal wave
This avalanche, I'm not afraid
C'mon, c'mon no one can see me cry.

That sugar cane that tasted good
That's who you are, that's what you could
C'mon, c'mon on no one can see you cry.

That sugar cane that tasted good
That's who you are, that's what you could
C'mon, c'mon on no one can see you cry.
