the light is dead in your eye
so I'll keep livin my life
I only wanted to try

to find my way back inside
my imitation of life
my litigation of life

it's something easy to find
inside the shade of your eye
[chorus]

out of the ground I rise to grace
nobody knows it's just a phase
help me I'm out of breath again

nobody knows somewhere to make it go away
phase [x 4]
I find it hard to decide

the way to make up your mind
your lips are better than mine
so you can kiss this goodbye

my imitation of life
my litigation of life
it's something easy to find

inside the shade of your eye
[chorus]
it's just a phase

and I can't wait
phase [x 3]
I know [x 3]

it's just a $#&@ing phase
