Rum Drunks, The - Chameleon lyrics

rate me

Chameleon, come to my hand, show me what color you are today

Chameleon, make me a plan, show me exactly the right words to say

Chameleon, I’ll be your friend, if my appearance is pleasing to you

Chameleon, I’d shed my skin, if I could come back again looking like you

I want to be colorful just like you

I want to know all of the things that you do

And I want to be different, exactly like you

I want to be a chameleon too.

When I was younger, you taught me well by ridiculing me for being myself

But now I’m older and I know the way, I can fit into a crowd any day

I want to be colorful just like you

I want to know all of the things that you do

And I want to be different, exactly like you

I want to be a chameleon too.

My colors have faded along with my youth

I am aloof and assuming

I have seen glimpses of light through the trees

But the joke that you spoke still eludes me

Do me a favor and throw me a line

That makes me feel like I’m in a movie

I’ll throw my head back and laugh ‘til I die

And the moment I die you’ll release me

Then I will be free to go…home
