Off To See The Lizard |
I was raised by a maid who came from Martinique |
She wore geckos around her neck and bracelets on her feet |
A superstitious woman from the land of sugar cane |
She’d sing the sun to bed and dance out in the rain |
Dance out, dance out, dance out in the rain |
She’d excite us with a legend that the Africans told |
About a red iguanna who turned lava into gold |
We’d mount an expedition heading up into the bay |
Superstitious children playing pirate for the day |
Off to see the lizard |
Off to see the lizard |
Deja deja deja vu |
Believe it and it will come true |
Veja veja veja du |
What works for me might work for you |
Being rich an famous seems to have its ups and downs |
But that’s the price you pay for being troubadours and clowns |
Godzilla’s halitosis it be vaporizing cars |
Elvis up in Michigan or maybe out on Mars |
Dance out, dance out, dance out to the stars |
But living in the briar patch ain’t what it appears |
Sooner or later you’ve got to face your fears |
I heard it from the parrot verbalizing in the tree |
I heard in the songline of the aborigine |
Off to see the lizard |
Off to see the lizard |
Deja deja deja vu |
Believe it and it will come true |
Veja veja veja du |
What works for me might work for you |
Does it work for me? |
(yeah, yeah) |
Will it work for you? |
(yeah, yeah) |
If you believe it will (yeah, yeah) |
It will come true (yeah, yeah) |
I got problems with my brain underneath my curls |
Problems with Loraine and all the other girls |
Love a wealthy woman and the pretty plane she flys |
If you think this sounds confusing you should see it through my eyes |
Dancing, dancing, dancing through my eyes |
I’m turning off the waterfall the tourists can go home |
I feel it time to travel take time to write a poem |
Time to seek some therapy I’m going walkabout |
Answers are the easy part, questions raise the doubt |
Off to see the lizard |
Off to see the lizard |
Deja deja deja vu |
Believe it and it will come true |
Veja veja veja du |
What works for me might work for you |
Deja deja deja vu |
Believe it and it will come true |
Veja veja veja du |
What works for me will work for you |
