Marillion She Chameleon Lyrics

Sheltering her ego
on the edge of a floodlit 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 depth of a satin grave
As I lay in sweating monologue
I sensed the lovelight 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 chameleon,
the smiling vinyl w____s

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 f___,
was it just a f___,
just another f___ I said
Loving just for laughs,
carnal autograph,
lying on a lizard's bed
So was it just a f___,
was it just a f___,
just another f___ I bled
Degraded and alone,
raped and still forlorn
Betrayed on a lizard's bed,
on a lizards bed
We chameleon,
we chameleon, (oui!)
