Chameleon…

A couple of days back i went for a taaq gig. it was awesome watching them after a really long time. they played some of the songs from their first album and those are my favourite. however what blew me away was this new song of theirs called Chameleon.....Bruce my man!! you have the gift to play the guitar and you have the gift to write words that make so much sense.....thanks man!!

There’s water in my hourglass
And the sand is in my eyes
I don’t have my mind
There’s flickering lights in my head
And my reasons are all lies

Today is just the same old same old
Too many teeth behind those smiles
And I don’t care about the stories told
If it means more, more, more,
More frequent-flyer miles
More secretary smiles
More…

I’m dangerous, I’m your best friend
I’m a colour-blind chameleon
I’m moving up, I know what’s going down
I’m just an urban
Super human
The consumer and the consumed…

I don’t have my reasons
I lost them in the fire
Of my ambition to be
Something not me

I don’t have a saviour
I’m too smart
To be taken in
By your prayers and your incense and that round-trip to heaven
I don’t have the time

Today is just the same old same old
Too many teeth behind those smiles
And I don’t care about the stories told
If it means more, more, more
More frequent-flyer miles
More secretary smiles
More birds of paradise…
