My brain is haunted by this scent
it takes me back to a past event
it's like a drug that I need every day
I need to preserve it, have to get it my way
Forever I'll have this desire
this scent - keeps me alive and fills my soul
Forever engulfed by its fire
this scent - consumes my mind and takes control
The feelings I get when memory comes back
goves me something in my life I lack
it takes me awat to the place I seek
and my being reaches its highest peak
I follow the trail it leaves behind
boxing it up is on my mind
preserving this scent is my aim

Chameleon
Music by Elton John
Lyrics by Bernie Taupin
Available on the album Blue Moves
The last I heard of you
You were somewhere on a cruise in the Mediterranean
So imagine my surprise to see you very much alive
In the English rain again
And I can still recall wet afternoons
When we were small and simply childish
But you've created your own ghost
And the need you have is more than most to hide it
Oh, Chameleon, you're stealing your way back into my eyes
Beyond a shadow of a doubt
You're a devil, you're a devil in disguise
Do you really change me, or am I going crazy
Chameleon, Chameleon, Chameleon, you're free again my child
I remember still those lazy summer days
We'd kill out hunting danger
And we were alien to all outsiders
We had no desire to talk to strangers
