lyrics

I'M A LIZARD©

When you was I, and I was you,
could tell no lies, could tell no truth
When you love some one for a long time,
you morph and change into a part of them
and when they're gone,
It's like losing an arm.

But I'm a lizard babe, I'll regrow my tail.
I'll grow a better one, with shinier scales.
And after a while, I'll find some one,
to keep my cold blood warm,
In the dark, of the cold, desert, night.

And we resigned, from our post
I became a stranger, and you became a ghost
When you love some one for a long time,
you find yourself on auto pilot, driving to a house,
where nobodys' home.

But I'm a lizard babe, I'll regrow my tail.
I'll grow a better one, that'll never fail.
And after a while, I'll find some one,
to keep my cold blood warm,
In the dark, of the cold, desert, night.

But now I'm me, whatever that means.
Slowly losing the inside jokes and the little ticks you left on me.
When you love someone for a long time,
you wish them all the best, hope some day they find their own,
hidden happiness.

I'm a lizard babe, I'll regrow my tail.
I'll grow a better one, I'll look cool as hell.
And after a while, I'll find some one,
to keep my cold blood warm,
In the dark, of the cold, desert, night.
