1.
Charades, pop skill, water hyacinth, named by
A poet, imita-tion of life
Like a koi in a frozen pond, like a goldfish
In a bowl, I don’t want to hear you cry
Ref.1
That’s sugarcane that tasted good, that’s cinnamon, that’s Hollywood
C’mon, c’mon, no one can see you try
2.
You want thegreatest thing, thegreatest thing sincebread came sliced
You’ve got it all, you’ve got it sized
Like a Friday fashion show teenager freezing in the corner
And trying to look like you don’t try
Ref.1

This sugarcane, this lemonade, this hurricane, I’m not afraid
C’mon, c’mon, no one can see me cry
This lightning storm, this tidal wave, this avalanche, I’m not afraid
C’mon, c’mon, no one can see me cry
