Текст песни
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
Not child, not man, not living thing
You have no time for rest
No thoughts, no words to comfort you
No smell or soft caress
I am the rag, the wishing well
The secrets to your fears
The lighted 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 all come around
Everybody listen to the brand new sound
We're gonna get down
I got a new trick better than the old trick
Baby, come with me and we'll find a new kick
Now
'Cause I see 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 just got to get down
I will do the John Travolta
I'll be Revolver
I will dance with anyone
I will get down
Because I'm a chameleon
I'll do what I can
I think that it's nice
If I earn some money
Being funny for a record company
They give me lots of wonderful things
They give me a house, a car
A nice place to entertain my friends
And I've got a lot 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 I'm a chameleon
I'll do what I can
