Chameleon Lyrics by Steve Vai

Live at the Astoria, London

2003

[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
Chameleon, how I envy what you can become
The colors end in your tongue
I'm sure your first desire is to blend
But you can choose the kind of messages that you send
[Chorus 1]
If only I can change upon a simple whim
If only I could slip into another skin
If only I could lick your salty sweat and get away
If only I could know the color to display
[Verse 2]
Chameleon, the middle ground is very seldom won
It ends up overcooked or underdone
An indecisive struggle to define
An empty head revealed another open mind
[Chorus 2]
If only I could melt like ice in summer heat
If only you would let the water drip onto your feet
If only I could touch your skin so dry and smooth
If only I could stop myself from watching every move
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 1]
Chameleon, how I envy what you can become
The colors end in your tongue
I'm sure your first desire is to blend
But you can choose the kind of messages that you send
[Chorus 1]
If only I can change upon a simple whim
If only I could slip into another skin
If only I could lick your salty sweat and get away
If only I could know the color to display
[Instrumental Outro]
