Paradiso The Chameleons

I recall a closing door, and i remember
Seeing shadows cross a stained glass sky
Long before the strangers came down to steal our clothing
And our consciences and long before
Eyes were empty, hearts were cold
We'll watch the rattlesnakes slide
Slowly swerve into view
To tease and tantalise
To sucker your senses and spit out the peices
Hey magazine girl, she was living in a different world
Or is it a he?
Pull back the curtain my son
I look around, the colour has gone
And slowly darkness descends upon me
Paradiso i know you lied, that much i see

Well the sepent sings his song
To so many sleeping staring eyes
Like sheep they sing along
And clap in time to a heart that's beating
Crazy child, she was wicked, oh she was wild, her eyes are open
Pull back the curtain today
I look around, the colour is grey
Grey as the ghost town that towers above me
Paradiso i know you lied, that much is clear, to me
