Charades, pop skill
   water hyacinth, named by a poet.
   imitaion 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
   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
  
   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 that's what you could
   c'mon c'mon no one can see you cry
  
   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
  
   that's sugarcane that tasted good
   that's what you are, that's what you could
   c'mon c'mon no one can see you cry
  
   that's sugarcane that tasted good
   that's what you are, that's what you could
   c'mon c'mon no one can see you cry.
