Cool Chameleon

Pick a colour – any colour…

Cool Chameleon        
Lyrics by Mick Evans    

I’m not fish - I’m not flesh
I’m not one thing baby
one day to the next - 
switching colours - ice-white lies      
might help you find yourself
then trick those trusting eyes        

See me now? - nothin’ inside
just looking for a place to hide

Cool Chameleon
Cool Chameleon
I’m here
but just as soon be gone - 
Cool Chameleon
Cool Chameleon
I look like everything
when I ain’t got nothing on -
Cool Chameleon

I don’t love - I don’t hate
care-free kaleidoscope
playing tricks on fate -              
changing faces - let’s pretend
bitter-sweet illusions
I’m no fairytale end

See me now? - nothin’ inside
just looking for a place to hide

Cool Chameleon
Cool Chameleon
I’m here
but just as soon be gone - 
Cool Chameleon
Cool Chameleon
I look like everything
when I ain’t got nothing on -
Cool Chameleon

Future looks so lame  
got no skin in the game -        
I’d cry out to you Girl
if only - I could remember - your name
wish I could remember your name

Cool Chameleon
Cool Chameleon
I’m here
but just as soon be gone - 
Cool Chameleon
Cool Chameleon
I look like everything
when I ain’t got nothing on -
Cool Chameleon
