imitation of life

Ontem em pleno engarrafamento pós chuva (quem mora em BH sabe que não pode chuviscar que o mundo pára!) descobri um cd sem rótulo no carro. Achei essa musiquinha que me acompanhou em boa parte do caminho de uma hora e meia do Pátio Savassi pra minha casa.

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

That's sugarcane that tasted good
That's 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 dont try

That's sugarcane that tasted good.
That's cinnamon that's hollywood
C'mon c'mon no one can see you try

No one can see you cry

That's sugarcane that tasted good
That's freezing rain thats what you could
C'mon c'mon no one can see you cry

This sugarcane
This lemonade
This hurricane, Im not afraid.
C'mon c'mon no one can see me cry
This lightning storm
This tidal wave
This avalanche, Im not afraid.
C'mon c'mon no one can see me cry

That's sugarcane that tasted good
That's who you are, thats what you could
C'mon c'mon no one can see you cry

That's sugarcane that tasted good
That's who you are, thats what you could
C'mon c'mon no one can see you cry
