Imitation Of Life — текст песни (R.E.M)

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 sugar cane that tasted good
That 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 cruising in the corner
Trying to look like you don`t try

That sugar cane that tasted good
That cinnamon, that`s Hollywood
Come on, come on
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
Come on, come on
No one can see you cry

This sugar cane, 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 sugar cane that tasted good
That`s who you are, that`s what you could
Come on, come on
No one can see you cry

That sugar cane that tasted good
That`s who you are, that`s what you could
Come on, come on
No one can see you cry
