"A Chameleon's True Colours"

Good morning, good afternoon, good evening but it's all about tonight
I know it's simple but the simplest things make us feel alright
Many strangers staring at me, some of them, they don't even blink

But how could I know that you'd come to the show?
That you'd spent some of your time with little old me?
I'm honoured and blessed, you complete me tonight

I can do this all night if they'd let me
Got my head up in the clouds, play as long as time allows
So, people, sing along if you're with me
Don't think about the next morning, good memories will comfort your yawning
A chameleon's true colours will be revealed in good time

I may not be (wolf whistle) but I've got a lot of tricks hidden up my tattoo sleeve
I may not make MTV or the NME but I've made a lot of great memories
Some of them involved a little reggae
You make your own luck so who gives a shit if you don't like it?

But how could I know that you'd come to the show?
That you'd spent some of your time with little old me?
I'm honoured and blessed, you complete me tonight

I can do this all night if they'd let me
Got my head up in the clouds, play as long as time allows
So, people, sing along if you're with me
Don't think about the next morning, good memories will comfort your yawning
A chameleon's true colours will be revealed in good time, yeah

Yeah, I'm green with envy and jealously
I'm blue for the saddened souls
I'm red from too much alcohol
Hiccup, I'm a rainbow, you will never find the end of me
I'm white with fear of the real world
I'm red and black, tattoos to regret
I'm black and blue 'cause I gave a funny to look
And the way you silence others is with violence
But that is not right
I will expose you through song every night
'Cause people deserve to be different, but I digress

I can do this all night if they'd let me
Got my head up in the clouds, play as long as time allows
So, people, sing along if you're with me
Don't think about the next morning, good memories will comfort your yawning
A chameleon's true colours will be revealed in good time
