Marillion She Chameleon song lyrics

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
