Aluminium Lyrics by Barenaked Ladies

Aluminium

How, in every visable way you shine,
as if the stars in your wake align,
almost imposable to malign.
But just below where you shine, you burn,
although I know it, I never learn,
just goes to sho that I can't desearn.

Aluminium to me. Aluminium to some.
You can shine like silver all you want,
but your just aluminium.

Illuminiating just what you want to show,
you never rust but I never know,
you can't be tursted. I can't let go.

Aluminium to me. Aluminium to some.
You can shine like silver all you want,
but your just aluminium.

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 contride.

Aluminium to me. Aluminium to some.
You can shine like silver all you want,
but your just aluminium.
Yeah, you're just aluminium.
