She Chameleon Lyrics - Marillion

Sheltering her ego on the edge of the floodlight's arc 

She'll contemplate seduction, she'll calculate the catch 

When she moved, her presence speared me 

When she spoke, her words ensnared me 

Watch the lizard, watch the lizard, watch 

Watch the lizard with the crimson veil 

Distinctly a casual affair 

She crucified my heart in the depths of a satin grave 

As I lay in sweating monologue, I sensed the love light fade 

Within the spiral of the cigarette 

You betrayed your bedside etiquette 

I saw the lizard touch, I saw the lizard touch 

I touched the lizard with the crimson veil 

I've seen a different doorway shut a million times before 

The smiling she chameleons, the smiling vinyl whores 

Distinctly a casual affair 

They know what they want 

They sing your name and glide between the sheets 

I never say no in chemical glow 

We'll let our bodies meet 

"So was it just a fuck, was it just a fuck 

Just another fuck?", I said 

Loving just for laughs, carnal autograph 

Lying on a lizard's bed 

So was it just a fuck, was it just a fuck 

Just another fuck I bled? 

Degraded and alone, raped and still forlorn 

Betrayed on a lizard's bed, on a lizard's bed 

We chameleon, we chameleon, we chameleon
