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 depths of a satin grave
As i lay in sweating monologue i sensed the lovelight fade
Within the spiral of the cigarette

Degraded and alone, raped and still forlorn
Betrayed upon a lizard's bed.
We chameleon, we chameleon, we
