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 fucking phase
