The Chameleon - The Saints

Like stars up in a darkened sky

I stand obscured from view

With shining eyes that did not lie

I turn the page for you

The silent shadow in the night

I smile before I steal

Behind locked doors in emptiness

I am the things you do

Now I am your only friend

You must love the chameleon

Now child my man why not live and think

You have no time for rest

No thoughts, no words to comfort you

No smile or soft caress

I am the ride, the wishing well

The secrets to your fear

I light the candle burning bright

The call from distant years

Now I am your only friend

You must love the chameleon

Now I am your only friend

You must love the chameleon

I said now I am your only friend

Yeah, you must love the chameleon

Groovy little people that come around

Everybody look to the brand new sound

We gotta get down

I got a new trick, better than the old trick

Baby come with me we’ll find a new kick, now

Cause I’ve seen the joke and it ain’t funny

I think I might trade it in for some money

Tried so hard all these years

Tried so hard to live with my fears

I’ve just got to get out

I will do the John Travolta

I feel revolted

I will dance with anyone

I will get mine

Because I’m a chameleon I do what I can

I think that is nice, if I earnt some money

Being funny for a record company

They get me lots of wonderful things

They give me a house, a car, a nice place to entertain my friends

And I’ve got lots of friends who come around

Because I am a chameleon

They tell me that they love me true

They like the things that I do because —
