Marillion - She Chameleon lyrics

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 the lizard with the crimson veil

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, I saw the lizard

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 whores

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

We chameleon, we chameleon, we chameleon
