sheltering her ego on the edge of a floodlit arc
she'll contemplate seduction
she'll calculate the catch
watch the lizard with the crimson veil
she crucified my heart in the depth 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 touched the lizard with the crimson veil
i've seen a different doorway shut a million times before
the smiling she chameleon
and glide between the sheets
in chemical glow we'll let our bodies meet
betrayed on a lizard's bed
