Born Gold - Clever Animals lyrics

we beautiful chameleons look you in the eye while we change our shape I could never respect your consonance: my jaw's too wide to want one thing we beautiful chameleons laughing in the dark while we stalk our prey I'll admit sometimes I'm hideous: that's just the price of being brave not to walk on water but to dance on air we beautiful chameleons swimming through the dust that the breathing shed why be safe when we could be colorful: let virtue take her sacred nap we beautiful chameleons singing into wounds that are freshly traced it pays to be a clever animal, but thinking's just forgetting anyway
