Clever Animals

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
Not to walk on water
But to dance on air

[Verse 2]
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
