Think of camouflage
The chameleon who changes his color
Think of the butterfly pretending it has eyes
Think of the flower, saying to the bee, "Like my honey?"
The bee says, "Wow!"
But then that means that the bee has to be
It has to go on living, and all the trouble it takes to go around collecting honey and raising other bees, and organizing itself, and doing that dance which tells the other bees where there's more honey
All that stuff to do
Because the flower was deceptive
Life is a drama, and a drama is a deception
A big act
When you peel an onion, and you don’t really understand the nature of an onion
You might look for the pit in the center, like any ordinary fruit has
But the onion doesn't have a center
It's all skins
So when you get right down there’s nothing but a bunch of skins
You say, "Well, that was kinda disappointing."
But of course you have to understand that the skins are the part that you eat
[Chorus]
Well, in rather the same way, you see, you find
When you explore yourself and your motivations
You go through and through and you try to find out
That thing which really is genuine
That thing which really is genuine
Well, in rather the same way, you see, you find
When you explore yourself and your motivations
You go through and through and you try to find out
That thing which really is genuine
That thing which really is genuine
The chameleon who changes his color
Think of the butterfly pretending it has eyes
Think of the flower, saying to the bee, "Like my honey?"
The bee says, "Wow!"
But then that means that the bee has to be
It has to go on living, and all the trouble it takes to go around collecting honey and raising other bees, and organizing itself, and doing that dance which tells the other bees where there's more honey
All that stuff to do

Life is a drama, and a drama is a deception
A big act

That thing which really is genuine
That thing which really is genuine
Well, in rather the same way, you see, you find
When you explore yourself and your motivations
You go through and through and you try to find out
That thing which really is genuine
That thing which really is genuine
