How, in every visible way, you shine
|
As if the stars in your wake align
|
Almost impossible to malign
|
|
But just below where you shine, you burn
|
Although I know it, I never learn
|
Just goes to show that I can't discern
|
|
[CHORUS:]
|
Aluminum to me
|
Aluminium to some
|
You can shine like silver all you want
|
But you're just Aluminum
|
|
Illuminating just what you want to show
|
You'd never rust, but I'd never know
|
You can't be trusted, I can't let go
|
|
[CHORUS]
|
|
Every time you're here, I forget
|
When you leave, you leave only regret
|
Every time you're here, I forget
|
Everything
|
|
You're so lightweight, how can you survive?
|
Recycling moments from others' lives
|
You're not as precious as you contrive
|
|
[CHORUS]
|
Yeah, you're just Aluminum
|
