Aluminum

Barenaked Ladies

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



Aluminum to me

Aluminium to some

You can shine like sliver all you want

But you're just Aluminum



Illuminating just what you want to show

You'll never rust, but I'll never know

You can't be trusted; I can't let go



Aluminum to me

Aluminium to some

You can shine like sliver all you want

But you're just Aluminum



Every time you're here I forget

When you leave, you leave only regret

Every time you're near I forget

Everything



You're so lightweight, how can you survive

Recycling moments from other's lives?

You're not as precious as you contrive



Aluminum to me

Aluminium to some

You can shine like sliver all you want

But you're just Aluminum
