Genuine Imitation Life
Chameleons changing colours while a crocodile cries People rubbing elbows but never touching eyes Taking off their masks, revealing still another guise Genuine imitation life
People buying happiness and manufactured fun Everybody doing what everybody's done People count on people who can only count to one In a genuine imitation life
All the pretty clouds are a lovely shade of black You find the right direction and someone tears up all the tracks People worship crosses with their fingers crossed behind their backs In a genuine imitation life
Old friends get together but it's solitary play Everybody's rainbow done in different shades of grey It's a lovely place to visit but I wouldn't want to stay In a genuine imitation life
In a genuine imitation life
Life
