[Verse 1]
The last I heard of you
You were somewhere on a cruise in Mediterranean
So imagine my surprise
To see you very much alive in the English rain again

[Chorus 1]
And I can still recall wet afternoons
When we were small and simply childish
But you've created your own ghost
And the need you have is more than most to hide it

[Chorus 2]
Oh, chameleon, you're stealing your way back into my eyes
Beyond a shadow of a doubt, you're a devil, you're a devil in disguise
Do you really change me or am I going crazy?
Chameleon, chameleon, chameleon, you're free again, my child

[Verse 2]
I remember still those lazy summer days
We'd kill out hunting danger
And we were alien to all outsiders
We had no desire to talk to strangers

[Chorus 1]

[Chorus 2]

[Outro]
Chameleon [x9]
