lyrics

Your choir boy croon's jarringly misaligned
Lascivious verse needs a growl and a grind
Does that pelvis of glass stop you gyrating your hips
Must you keep cool or risk melting your wax lips

There's no resemblance, only imitation

Baby smooth hands without a groove or a dent
Don't suit your melody, so blue, crushed, and bent
I peeked under your nails and guess what I found
It ain't just topcoat-- that lacquer goes all the way down

There's no resemblance, only imitation
No resemblance. At your own invitation
I found the fake, it doesn't matter
I'm still laid out on a platter
When you speak I still jump, "Yes, master"

From a certain angle you pass for that beloved entertainer you mimic
But from over here in the cheap seats I can see your sleeve loaded with gimicks

Holding court from high atop a platform shoe
Shameless climber smirks-- he's enjoying the view
Buff them like apples to a dazzling shine
Before they find out your fancy kicks are just vinyl

There's no resemblance, only imitation
No resemblance. At your own invitation
I found the fake, it doesn't matter
I'm still laid out on a platter
When you speak I still jump, "Yes, master"

There's no resemblance, only imitation
There's no resemblance, only imitation
There's no resemblance
There's no resemblance
There's no resemblance
