R.E.M. - Charades

 

R.E.M. - Charades

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
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
