Chameleon - Thermal And A Quarter

I don’t have the time

There’s water in my hourglass

And the sand is in my eyes

I don’t have my mind

There’s flickering lights in my head

And my reasons are all lies

Today is just the same old same old

Too many teeth behind those smiles

And I don’t care about the stories told

If it means more, more, more,

More frequent-flyer miles

More secretary smiles

More…

I’m a colour-blind chameleon

I’m moving up, I know what’s going down

I’m just an urban

Super human

The consumer and the consumed…

I don’t have the reasons

I lost them in the fire

Of my ambition to be

Something, somebody not me

I don’t have a saviour

I’m too smart

To be taken in by

Your prayers and your incense and that round-trip to heaven

Today is just the same old same old

Too many teeth behind those smiles

And I don’t care about the stories told

If it means more, more, more

More frequent-flyer miles

More secretary smiles

More…
