Sheltering her ego on the edge of the floodlight's arc
She'll contemplate seduction, she'll calculate the catch
When she moved, her presence speared me
When she spoke, her words ensnared me

Watch the lizard, watch the lizard, watch
Watch the lizard with the crimson veil

Distinctly a casual affair

She crucified my heart in the depths of a satin grave
As I lay in sweating monologue, I sensed the love light fade
Within the spiral of the cigarette
You betrayed your bedside etiquette

I saw the lizard touch, I saw the lizard touch
I touched the lizard with the crimson veil

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

Distinctly a casual affair

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

"So was it just a fuck, was it just a fuck
Just another fuck?", I said
Loving just for laughs, carnal autograph
Lying on a lizard's bed

So was it just a fuck, was it just a fuck
Just another fuck I bled?
Degraded and alone, raped and still forlorn
Betrayed on a lizard's bed, on a lizard's bed
We chameleon, we chameleon, we chameleon
