Sheltering her ego on the edge of the floodlight's arc
She'll contemplate seduction, calculate the catch
When she moved her presence speared me
When she spoke her words ensnared me
Watch the lizard, watch the lizard
Watch the lizard with the crimson veil.

She crucified my heart in the depths of a satin grave
As I lay in sweating monologue I sensed the lovelight fade
Within the spiral of the cigarette
You betrayed your bedside etiquette
I saw the lizard, I saw the lizard
I touched the lizard with the crimson veil

I've seen a different doorway shut a million times before
Smilng she-chameleons, smiling vinyl whores

They know what they want, they sing your name and glide between the sheets
I never say no, in chemical glow we'll let our bodies meet

Degraded and alone, raped and still forlorn
Betrayed upon a lizard's bed.
