Song lyrics

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's sugarcane, that tasted good,
That's 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
Freezing in the corner
Trying to look like you,
Don't try

That's sugarcane, that tasted good,
That's cinnamon, that's Hollywood,
Come on, come on, no one can see you try

No one can see you cry

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

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

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 [x2]
