[Verse 1]
I got an animal in my head
Can she guess across the table?
Is it just a fable? I'll be there and back again
Another Hollywood masquerade
I don't know anyone on my playground
Can I get off this train or just slow it down?
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm in the middle right now
Just trying to blend in by daylight
Swear I need a change, I'm lost, Chameleon
Nobody can hear you now
So you should be off parading
Don't you ever change? Just stop, Chameleon
[Verse 2]
Oh, what you think of swimming inside my cage?
Just a buzz before they see you
I can't find none of my true, true colors
In no box full of crayons
Another Hollywood escapade
I don't know anyone on my playground
Can I get off this train now? Just slow it down
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm in the middle right now
Just trying to blend in by daylight
Swear I need a change, I'm lost, Chameleon
Nobody can hear you now
So you should be off parading
Don't you ever change? Just stop, Chameleon
[Bridge]
Don't you ever change? Just stop, Chameleon
(Don't you change? You never stopped to say your goodbye)
Are you happy now?
[Outro]
Nobody can hear you now
So you should be off parading
Don't you ever change? Just stop, Chameleon
