Intrigue In Tangiers - The Chameleons

When it’s summer and the skies are glass

When it’s summer and the skies are glass

I just have to make the evenings last

They’re always flying past

Oh, when it’s raining and the skies are black

When it’s raining and the skies are black

I just have to hear the thunder roll

And see the lightning crack

With fading powers we sit for hours

By a television screen

With funny cigarettes and talk for hours

Of the places that we’ve seen

Oh, brother, can you hear my voice?

Brother, can you hear my voice?

Every second that you cling to life

You have to feel alive

Well, it’s an easy thing to sell your skin

It’s an easy thing to sell your skin

With the devil banging on the door

You always let him in

With fading powers we dream of hours

That will never come again

Old defenders are themselves defenseless

When the mad attack the sane

What can you do when you see no future

In front of you?

Food for the few, so many it seems

Stand in front of you

I see my face reflected there

In the sweating brow

You hate what you see, what can be done

When there’s no way out?

No way out, no

Brother, can you hear my voice?

Brother, can you hear my voice?

Every second that you cling to life

You have to feel alive

And now it’s summer and the skies are glass

When it’s summer and the skies are glass

I just have to make the evenings last

They’re always flashing past

So, there we cower, we sit for hours

By a television screen

With funny cigarettes and talk for hours

Of the places that we’ve seen

But when you sleep

But when you sleep

Where do you go?

Where do you go?

But when you sleep

But when you sleep

Where do you go?

Where do you go?

I don’t know

I don’t know
