R.E.M. – Imitation Of Life Lyrics  Share

From R.E.M.'s album: Reveal

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
