Chameleons - One Flesh lyrics

With the sun in your eyes It's easy mistaking The truth from the lies In the love that you're making Don't pretend it isn't so With the sun in your eyes It always reveals A voluntary bondage That always appeals It's how you make the garden grow But why this weakness No-one knows Our conscience cries its sorrow While we sleep But once the morning comes Out the back door Silently it creeps With the sun in your eyes Always reminding A sense of excitement You've no hope of finding With the chains that bind your feet Belonging or longing For a few empty hours In a stranger's bed To chase away A fear that's in your head And why this weakness No-one knows The vacant faceless voices on the phone Bring words that offer no Consolation when you're on your own Beaten on the brow of history A unison forged in slavery In all that's hope and decency A hope for you and a hope for me For every woman, child and man To those who'll chain you if they can The babe you're bouncing on your knee Needs your help now Can't you see Beaten on the brow of history A union forged in slavery In all that's hope and decency A hope for you and a hope for me For every woman child and man To those who'll chain you if they can The babe you're bouncing on your knee Needs your help now can't you see
