Lizard Play
Van Der Graaf Generator Frozen moment, cold blood time: the Iguana lady is saying goodbye. She's not quite ready, she wants to stay, she wants to be perfect, but not in the way. He tries to be cautious, one more cigarette, he wants to be open, but the time is not yet. They talk about poetry, lifehe wants to know if she keeps a pet or two. She's into lizards, she's into snakes, he's into trauma from a lady who only talked dogs and cats making love in the alley So he doesn't notice he's falling in to a change in colour of chameleon skin. And the sun beats down on the baking earth in the land where the lizards play. And the tongues flick out all the words get in the way. And it's you and me and it's he and she and it's everything I say. Frozen vision, deaf and dumb: still trying to work out what I've become. I tried to reach you, I tried to score, I shot the bolt on the open door... the secret reaction, base metal to gold, and all I felt was my blood froze... I walked on water and now the water must dance on me. Anyway, for all that, will you dance with me? will you dance with me? And the sun beats down on the baking earth in the land where the lizards play. And they shed their skins and at last begin to find colours for the day. Will you dance with me? |
