lyrics

Chameleon

‘69 was the year
That I joined the good fight
The sight of the fear and the fright
Made me burst into tears
Slowly growing into the skin that I’m in
Rude awakening of a dreamer
That finds himself locked in a spin

I’m a true chameleon
Marking time
This is the day I figure it out
Don’t bust my cloud
Cause I’m trying to stay just as high
Just as high as I possibly can

I’m the fish out of water
But drowning on land
Overtired of the tricks
And I’m sick of the sleights of hand
I’m half full of half promises
Grabbed for the gold
Empty hands of a fool
On the trail of a dream gone cold

I’m a true chameleon
Marking time
This is the day I figure it out
Don’t bust my cloud
Cause I’m trying to stay just as high
Just as high as I possibly can

And its me in the water
And me out on a limb
And me trying to start a fire in the rain
And I’m out in the cold again

Layer after layer
Till we’re finally naked
No hiding place can keep us from
Who we really are
Lights through the window
The corners stay dark
A little wide of the mark
As I’m slowly fading away

I’m a true chameleon
Marking time
This is the day I figure it out
Don’t bust my cloud
Cause I’m trying to stay just as high
Just as high as I possibly can

I’ll miss the music
I’ll miss the bad days
I’m done already
Only just started living
And I’m done already
