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 -
