Aluminum Lyrics - Everything To Everyone - 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 

Aluminum to some 

You can shine like silver 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 

Aluminum to some 

You can shine like silver 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 others lives? 

You're not as precious as you contrive

Aluminum to me 

Aluminum to some 

You can shine like silver all you want 

But you're just aluminum 

Yeah you're just aluminum
