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 dont want to hear you cry.

Thats sugarcane that tasted good

Thats cinnamon thats hollywood

Cmon cmon no one can see you try.

You want the greatest thing

The greatest thing since bread came sliced.

Youve got it all, youve got it sized.

Like a friday fashion show teenager

Freezing in the corner

Trying to look like you dont try.

Thats sugarcane that tasted good.

Thats cinnamon thats hollywood

Cmon cmon no one can see you try.

No one can see you cry

Thats sugarcane that tasted good

Thats freezing rain thats what you

could

Cmon cmon no one can see you cry.

This sugarcane

This lemonade

This hurricane, Im not afraid.

Cmon cmon no one can see me cry

This lightning storm

This tidal wave

This avalanche, Im not afraid.

Cmon cmon no one can see me cry.

Thats sugarcane that tasted good

Thats who you are, thats what you

could

Cmon cmon no one can see you cry.

Thats sugarcane that tasted good

Thats who you are, thats what you

could

Cmon cmon no one can see you cry.
